Charlotte, NC based photographer- Brandon Pickett
-Telling Stories Since 2010-
Hello! Here’s the part I hate… Talking about myself. Most people have a fancy headshot, but I like this photo that my girlfriend took on vacation better. It’s laid back which represents my personality. Give me a coffee and a camera and I have it made. I wish I had some fancy photo awards I could tell you about, but honestly, I never saw the benefit to having them.
I’m lucky enough to have stumbled across my life’s passion at the young age of 16 and I’ve had a camera in my hand ever since. It wasn’t until my mid 20s that I realized this is my contribution to the world. We all have something to contribute and mine is to give people photographs that give justice to their beautiful lives.
Since I was young I always had this deep appreciation for time and an awareness of mortality. It’s a blessing and a curse to be honest. I think this is where my appreciation for photographing stories and capturing raw, authentic moments comes from.
This is my life’s work and the photographs I take for my clients are as important to me as they are for them. I have the ultimate respect for the art of photography and what it can do for someone.
Outside of photography and client work, I do personal photography projects. Mostly long term projects on specific places or themes. I also do some more conceptual fine art photography.
I’m a very quiet, laid back person so when I’m not doing the above, I just want to hangout with my long time girlfriend and our little angel, Ty. He’s our Yorkie, chihuahua(and god knows what else) rescue dog, really he acts like our first child if I’m being honest. I also love to play guitar and travel as much as I can.
The one thing that has given me purpose in life is seeing the joy my photographs bring to my clients, knowing these images will be looked at by great-great grandchildren. I hope to continue this for years to come and I’m beyond grateful for the clients that have entrusted me with a part of their life story.
