Brandon Cook

Cincinnati, Ohio

I received my first camera when I was 14 years old. The purpose for this camera certainly wasn't for photography; at the time I was much more interested in making outrageous YouTube videos with my friends. Filming these videos allowed me to cultivate a love for storytelling and motivated me to explore the science/art of crafting beautiful shots that convey emotion and depth.

My love for film took a backseat to photography in 2016. I was a stressed out college student in the brunt of my pre-med and neuroscience coursework. The stress escalated to a point where I needed to momentarily step away. Coincidentally, I stumbled upon pictures of Zion National Park, which left me mesmerized; the great outdoors was pulling me in and I couldn't resist. When the semester ended, I grabbed my camera and embarked for Utah.

I had previously never visited any natural locations outside of my home state of Ohio. The terrain of Ohio is slightly different than Utah; I had never seen anything like it. The overwhelming magnitude of the cliffs, the intricate colors, and the majestic scenery of Zion struck me on a deeply spiritual level. I was mesmerized and instantly became obsessed with capturing the beauty of our amazing world through photographs. My love for and desire to photograph amazing places has evolved in parallel to my fascination for adventure and exploring challenging, remote landscapes.
