Meet the Business Owner

Graham B.

Business Owner

Born and bred in the North of England, I traveled and worked around the world as a high-​tech marketing executive for many years before settling in Oakland, CA in 1996.

A long time photographer — I literally started on my dad’s knee — I try to record the world from an interesting and, wheneverpossible, different perspective. As a young manI was fascinated by aviation — it remains a passion to this day — and the drive tophotograph aircraft and aviators is still evident in my work today.

Five years at sea as a young man traveling the world introduced me to new people and places. People — often outside the mainstream — are prominent in my work, both informal street scenes and in the studio. Different places and cultures fascinate me, their color, their rituals and their attitudes to life — and I seek to capture each in as unique and telling a way as possible.

In the 1990s I started to learn the new skills required to master digital photography and printing.n.
