Brian Lipps has been known to wear a beard better than any longshoreman or lumberjack I’ve ever met. And fittingly, he has claimed the top prize at the annual Ice Beard Competition—Sundance, Utah; three years running.
Sometimes he takes nasty spills on his mountain bike in the Rockies and patches up his wounds with duct tape and t-shirts because the hospital is too far away and “that’s what hydrogen peroxide is for.” Ask to see the scar.
I’ve witnessed him drive from Los Angeles to Albuquerque without stopping, even for gas, somehow. The man drinks Black and Tans out of nationalistic principal and typically, he’ll buy you one too.
If you follow him into the wilderness take heed, because many an adventurer has been left limping in attempts to keep up with his intrepidity. But he’ll gladly build you a splint.
He is a photographer of the rare mettle to shoot the way he lives. And that world inside of his lens is a daring world that pleads for you to come along, to see what is really out there. The images he makes convey that unbridled energy hanging just behind a mundane façade of the everyday. Finding the carnivorous beauty of the real with a witty twist. Showing us the world as we wish we could live and as Lipps actually does.
Yet he is not just an idea or a philosophy, he is a professionally trained photographer, graduating from the prestigious Brooks Institute of Photography. Lipps is always ready to capture the adventure all around us.

Hello, I’m Brian Lipps, born in Cincinnati, OH, I studied photography at Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, CA. Soon after I moved to Los Angeles where I worked with some of the industry’s leading photographers. This is where I honed my lighting technique and deepened my appreciation of all things photo.
After over a decade of working in Los Angeles I decided to leave the beautiful mountains, beaches, but most importantly the traffic and head to the land of watermelon sunsets and hot air balloons. Here in Albuquerque I maybe able to get across town in 15 minutes instead of 15 hours but I still bring the knowledge and skills of the photo industry in LA with me. I would love to help you with your next project so please don’t hesitate to reach out. No job to big no job to small.
Available for work world wide. HAVE PASSPORT WILL TRAVEL!
