Brian Dowling
For more than 30 years Brian's studio, BDI, was the birthplace of some of the most remarkable fashion photography ever created; printing colour photographs for the likes of Anton Corbijn, Juergen Teller and Nick Knight.
And whenever I think of photographic processing, the next thing I think about is the colour red - you know, darkrooms etc. It is, however, kind of ironic in its own way, as one could only use a red light for black and white processing, and Brian's printing was all about colour!

about the photographer
For me the most important things in life always had something to do with the truth. When I was younger I always felt that it was important to know the truth about things; to try and find out what was really going on in the world [and beyond]. As I grew up I realised that it was just as important to know the truth about oneself. Today, in my work, I continue to find importance in the truth — I do so by always holding the truthfulness of the moment in the highest regard.back to gallery
