About
Brian Henry, a Baltimore-based photographer, explores the realms of decay and mortality using a blend of digital, traditional, and experimental analog techniques. Within the textures of decay, he often incorporates the nude form, crafting juxtapositions that encourage introspection into one's existence. Through his lens, Brian not only captures the beauty within decay but also the raw vulnerability of human existence. Immerse yourself in a visual narrative where the human form inspires introspection, encouraging viewers to ponder their relationship with their environment and their own resilience in the face of time.
My work is curiosity-based and experimental in nature. I’m interested in exploring new locations, meeting new people and portraying emotions associated with each unique location. I am fascinated by analog photographic processes and am enamored by learning material boundaries through experimental means. Techniques are learned through trial and error as each location and photograph lends itself to infinite narration.
