About BKT Waterfall Photography

Meet Brian

I was born in Portsmouth, Ohio, and moved to Barron, Wisconsin, in 1988. My love for photography began in the mid-1990s when I started shooting film, with a particular passion for nature photography. In the early 2000s, I discovered waterfall photography and fell in love with slow-shutter speed techniques—to me, it’s truly an art form. As a self-taught photographer, I believe that nothing is worth pursuing unless you truly love it, and capturing the motion of water is my ultimate passion.

Art with Therapeutic Benefits

For over 20 years, I have specialized in Arts in Healthcare. My photography is carefully composed to offer soothing therapeutic benefits and create a calming atmosphere. Today, my work is proudly displayed in medical offices and clinical healing environments throughout the Chippewa Valley and Northwest Wisconsin, and in Rowan County Kentucky, helping to bring peace to patients and healthcare workers alike.

Clean & professional

As a dedicated film photographer, I embrace a slow intentional process to deliver authentic, high-quality images with an archival quality that stands the test of time.
