{"title":"BRIAN FINKE","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"p1\"\u003eBrian Finke is an American photographer, native Texan, who lives in Brooklyn and is passionate about travel, tattoos, barbecue, and biking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"p1\"\u003eFinke’s visual cultural commentary focuses on authenticity and the absurdity of everyday life and the range of human behavior. A stylized documentarian and trained photojournalist, Finke’s honesty and intimacy when capturing subjects strikes at the core of contemporary life, with a uniquely American point of context and graphic sensibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"p1\"\u003eOften with boundary pushing subject matter, Finke challenges the viewer to confront what is often right in front of them, with an almost surreal understanding of immediacy, time, and place. From street photography to commercial portraiture to fashion editorials, his immersion in culture-at-large creates imagery that is deeply tied to the political and emotional undertones of the modern world. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"s1\"\u003eA graduate of the School of Visual Arts in New York City, Finke received a BFA in photography.

His work is in nine museum collections in the U.S. and abroad, and he regularly shoots for editorial clients like National Geographic, M magazine, and The New York Times as well as commercial clients, including Delta Airlines, Uber Eats, and eBay.
