About Geoffrey Vail Brown Photography
Work now appearing in the Dirty Show in Detroit. We will be attending on the 17th and 18th. Stop in!
Though the camera is the primary catalyst for my work, I strive to produce images that go beyond merely capturing a split-second in time, and attempt to create work that is deeper, deliberate, and more emotive. I do not want to be confined by allowing the camera to have the final say on an image, but rather, desire to use everything that I know about photography and art as a color in the palette of the final piece of work.

Call this an endorsement if you will. I have personally seen the painstaking effort and creativity that Geoff puts into his images. Look creative or talent and he will be pictured.
