Jeffrey Brown | Photographer | http://www.jeffreybrown.com/
Jeffrey Lamont Brown brings a fresh, reality-based approach to advertising projects for print and TV clients around the world. Recent awards include: being named one of the “200 Best Photographers Worldwide” by Leurzer’s Archive, PX3 Prix de la Photographie Paris, IPA - Lucie “Best of show” and Communication Arts Photo Annual. His unique style, known as “beautiful realism” has evolved naturally over nearly two decades behind the lens. It finds its roots in authentic experiences but goes beyond the real in different, and often subtle, ways. Sometimes it has a bit of a mystical twist; other times we give it an edgier look or a bit of humor. But always we produce imagery with amazing light and highly stylized visuals in keeping with our visual integrity Jeffrey believes that every shot, however comprehensively produced and tightly choreographed, contains “real moments” that serve his clients’ desire to present products and ideas in the most compelling way.
