John Brown Photography

John Brown Photography Art & Commercial Photographer based in Brooklyn, NY. While working as a hotel valet to make ends meet, Brown found a camera in the lost and found.

John Brown, a Nashville-based photographer whose specialties are portraiture and branding, recognized in childhood that he is a creative soul. In college, he studied art and music formally however, photography fell into his lap in a less traditional manner. From there, he was on his path. The photographer began refining his aesthetic, often described by his clients as clean, ethereal, and painterl

y, through experimentation. He prides himself on taking a caring and considerate approach to his subjects, oftentimes getting to know them over a cup of coffee pre-shoot. Brown’s objective with every photoshoot is to produce something he can’t find a million times on Google. To properly capture the essence of his subjects, he asks intentional questions such as, “What do you truly care about?” Through his subject’s answers he pieces together a puzzle of their spirit, and how to translate that into a commercial portrait. Brown, who has worked as a server, salesman, and semi-driver, appreciates all walks of life and can connect with anyone. Some of his most memorable photography experiences are photographing a kidney transplant in the operating room at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, helping to define the hipster-chic aesthetic of Nashville-based coffee brand Barista Parlor, and watching a photo go viral and end up in Vogue Italia.

I feel like sharing today, because this year as been awful and it's nice to have good news for a change. I started out this year full of hope, incredibly busy with work, and progressing (even if slowly) in life. Today, besides living in the same house, driving the same truck, and having the same church community and friends, literally every other aspect of my life has changed.
The pandemic stripped me of productivity, and it forced me to be home isolated from everyone. When that happened I started to realize I wasn't well, and had not been well for 13 years. But being busy and productive had covered over all my issues.
I experienced a severe clinical depression for the first time in my life. You guys... I lost 10 pounds, and literally got to a place where I couldn't even function well enough to send an email. I would wake up, shower, eat a little, feel tired and lay on the couch and sleep all day, then go to bed, and repeat. I sobbed nearly everyday. I had no energy and felt completely hopeless that anything good would ever happen again. At some point I realized if I was ever going to survive this, I had to do something about it. So...

I’ve written and erased and saved and rewritten and started over and stopped and come back and repeat... so much to say about this year. I’m sure all of you could tell me stories for hours about what all has affected or changed your life. I just want to say I love you, and I’m thankful to still be here. I’m not exactly sure what’s next for me, but I’m working on it. Happy Thursday. /// 📸:
