The art of photography has been an integral part of Brian Leary’s life since early childhood. Brian was exposed to photography while spending time with his father in a color darkroom in Syracuse, NY, and began developing his own photographic interests when he moved to the Pacific Northwest as an adult. He landed a job at a pro camera store and this turned into a long-term professional passion as Brian pursued his own unique style and talent for photography.  
Brian is passionate about sharing his knowledge of the photographic experience to other camera enthusiasts through private instruction and group workshops. 
Brian has a unique talent for breaking down complex subjects and communicating techniques that makes sense and sticks in practice! 
He is the kind of instructor you want to work with: a teacher who loves watching people light up when they get a great shot. 
Not surprisingly, Brian has an insatiable wanderlust and has traveled extensively throughout more than 20 countries. 
Over the years Brian has had the opportunity to photograph everything from endangered rhinoceroses to the Dalai Lama’s 50th anniversary of his exile from Tibet.
