About Me

Instagram bksandiego

I worked on the Estée Lauder global account for over 15 years as a beauty/fashion Creative Director while at a top advertising agency in New York. From there, I went on to L’Oréal USA, Maybelline worldwide and other high profile accounts.

Throughout my career I was fortunate enough to work with incredibly talented people, top photographers, super models, hair and makeup, clothing stylists. It wasn't until I moved to San Diego in '06 as a freelance Art Director, I began to get behind the camera. What started as an interest in fine art photography, became a passion.

My work was chosen out of over 400 photographers, to appear in a group show at the WUHO Gallery in LA. I was awarded first place for my portfolio of 10 images, in a vetted exhibition at the LUXE Gallery, San Diego; won first and second place at the Del Mar Photo Exhibition and appeared in a group show at SDMC, San Diego.

My images are shown though out southern California, a collection of which can be viewed at http://www.BrianKelly-Photo.com and my email is [email protected]

If you'd like to model, I look for women appropriate for beauty and fashion, clear skin, interesting features, slim. Guys that are in good shape: slim, toned or muscular. No experience is necessary. I am very open to ideas and happy to do TF/trade/test shoots, to benefit each others portfolios. I primarily shoot nudes, it's my forte, but I'm not shy about photographing you clothed. :)

Thanks for reading and I look forward to collaborating with all the great talent out there! Also, while I appreciate all the great retouchers reaching out to me, I'm covered in this area.

Hey, I'm interested to come to America in future but at the moment while traveling is still difficult, I am offering remote shoots afternoons on Wednesdays or Mondays Melbourne time until March 8th. I'm currently working with another photographer to do these shoots but I hope in future to get my own gear and do more on location remote shoots. I have a CBD apartment with a rooftop balcony, large natural light windows, a range of backdrops, props & can use the buildings facilities of a gym, spa, pool & sauna. My rates for remote shoots would be less than what I charge for in person shoots. Let me know how many hours you would like me to quote you for and if you like to pay by PayPal or a bank transfer to my UK bank or AUS bank. We would tether the camera to the laptop and screen share so you can control the settings/shots & we could chat over FaceTime or WhatsApp during the shoot.

The gear we have is a Sony full frame camera with a range of lenses available; 50mmf1.8, 85mmf1.4gm, 17-28f2.8, 28-75f2.8, 105f1.4gm, 70-200f2.8gm

Would love to know what style you would like to shoot & when. Hope to hear from you soon! All the best, kind regards.
