about brian parkin
Brian Parkin is a photographer and gallerist based in Moab, Utah. Born Bolton, England he is a graduate of the University of Reading (B.Sc. Chemistry), has worked as a high school science teacher in England and Belgium, and as a book editor at Oxford University Press. He studied art and photography at the Academy of Art University, San Francisco from which he graduated MFA in 1995. He subsequently taught technical lighting and portraiture to students at the Academy. Between 1995 and 2001 he worked as a camera assistant and location scout with commercial shooters in the Bay Area and Los Angeles. Brian moved to Utah in 2001 and photographs fine art for reference and reproduction in his Spanish Valley studio using both traditional and digital capture methods. Because of the continuing demand by artists for film images the studio is fully-equipped with an in-house film lab offering E6, C41 and B/W services. In October 2006 he founded Moab Art Works to better service the needs of local and visiting visual artists, and as a place to see original works of art in a gallery setting. Brian has exhibited in galleries and other venues and has work on permanent display at Moab City Hall. He has promoted more than fifteen exhibitions of photography, painting, and sculpture at his Main Street gallery and co-promoted two abstract art shows (MoabAbstracts). Brian's interests include instant-print portraiture, non-traditional landscapes, and lensless photography. In 2007 he became a US citizen.
