Brian Tryon
Instructor
Brian Tryon is a self taught photography and visual artist. A purist, believing that the snap is the final product. Everything you do is in camera. No photoshop or any manipulations. Using photography as a way of self healing, being in the moment, getting out of himself in a healthy way. Escaping through the lens. Shooting the weird; wonderful and spiritual side of life. The purpose of the final result: the photograph is to create emotion, make the viewer feel and to turn on. Portraiture is one of his favorite mediums along with street photography, documentary photography and lifestyle photography. Capturing the real emotion of subjects. Finding lines and textures that are striking. To compose a photograph that pleases the eye. Brian has a 1000+ photography archive at the Penrose Public Library. Brian taught for several years at Community Prep School. Working with marginal youths. Teaching the basics of photography and using the form to express themselves, and, for healthy escape rather than the unhealthy things they are used to. Brian also likes to paint. Brian founded and owns Shutter and Strum, a community art center providing photography, music, and art programs to the youth of the city.
