His photographs are found in numerous private, corporate, and public collections around the world, as well as in fine galleries and through major stock agencies.

Brad has been capturing the eruption of  Kilauea since it began in 1983.  The goal of his photography is to “connect the viewer to a deep understanding and appreciation of the natural world.  Nowhere else is creation happening so dramatically.”   Inspired by beauty and variety Brad is based out of Hawaii, Utah, and Alaska, traveling several months each year to pursue his art.

A reprint of Brad’s “Volcano – Creation in Motion” is due out in early July.   The book which already offered a sublime glimpse into the heart of creation includes a new format, cover and updated images of Halema‘uma‘u and the recent flows near Pahoa.  A book signing event will be scheduled as the publication becomes available.  Please visit our event calendar for more information.
