Brandon Hirt is a fine art/portrait photography that currently resides in Ebensburg, Pa after boomeranging back to the area after living the dream in Colorado and Oregon. During my time out west I created my eye or should I say addiction of photography. After taking a few darkroom classes in Black and White Photography the fun really started. I was seeing so many different sites that I wanted to remember forever. I would go to John Fielder’s photography galleries on my lunch breaks and be inspired.
I strive to find a different perspective in my images.My photography sweet tooth is long exposure landscapes. The longer exposures help bring a silent peace to the images. I create most of these during the power of moonlight or during daylight with ninja special effects. These shots can last 2 seconds or as long as 2 hours. These long exposures will smooth out crashing waves or have the stars spin around the Northern Star.
Remember variety is the spice of life so I try to engage into different sorts of image creation. I am available to shoot weddings, portraits or any event. Also keep your eyes open for my Farmscape series that will mooove you and environmental portrait work. I am always looking to create images of everyday views from new perspectives. Please allow your eyes to view my images on my website brandonhirtphoto.com. Feel free to contact me brandonhirtphoto@hotmail.com or 303-915-9392.
My photography has been published by Hobby Farm, AAA, USA Today, Winterstick Snowboards, Pennsylvania Magazine, Johnstown Magazine, and Pittsburgh Post Gazette. Video work shown by Fox Sports Net, So Gnar TV, Altitude Sports, Pin Pin Films, Bald E-Gal Productions, The Cru, Misschief Films, and many others.
