Quotes:
"Yes. I try not to light things. I think what people consistently respond to is the sense of light in my pictures. I think I learned that in Nebraska. I love the idea that I’m working with God lighting my projects. And if I’d been able to afford strobes early in my career, I would have lost out on all of this. What I thought was a failing, a loss, was a great gift."
"I hadn’t thought about that, but you’re probably right. When I see someone else’s images of a project I’ve shot, I am struck by their choices, the angles, what they even saw as interesting. It is a different story they tell."
(Jakimides., By Annaliese. "| Brian Vanden Brink | Interview from Bangor Metro, April 2007." | Brian Vanden Brink | Architectural Photographer |. Web. 01 Nov. 2010. )
One of the reasons that I am drawn to Brink's photographs is that they are rural. Another reason is that he chooses to take photographs that show a lot of color and the outsides of the houses. I tried taking photographs of just the outsides of the houses that I came across but was unsuccessful in that pursuit. Another thing that I like about his work is that he uses all natural light even in his architectural work which is the way that I want to keep working. There is just something about the way that natural light comes into the houses that you could never get from artificial lighting.
