behind the lens

I'm briney — a photographer based in San Antonio, TX working in both film and digital. I'm drawn to the moment before people realize they're being photographed. The look away, the laugh mid-sentence, the quiet between things. That's where I live with a camera.

I shoot 35mm and medium format film alongside digital, depending on what the project calls for. Whether it's a roll of Kodak or a clean digital session, I'm less interested in perfection than in something that actually feels like a moment.

I also do full editorial — controlled light, intentional framing, the kind of work that looks good in print. Whatever you need, I want it to feel like yours when it's done.

I shoot on location or in studio, on film or digital. Tell me what you're going for — I'll tell you what I think will work.

Availability is limited. Reach out early, especially for film sessions.

Candid — Film
Natural light. Minimal direction. The camera disappears and something real happens. Shot on 35mm or medium format film.
Candid — Digital
Same approach, faster delivery. Great for events, portraits, and sessions where you need the files quickly.
Editorial / Studio
Fully staged. Controlled light. Intentional composition. Film or digital. The kind of work that holds up in print.
