Who is this dude?
Hey! I’ve been doing this for over 20 years. I’ve learned that people and relationships make it happen. (Skill, talent, and coffee are a given.) I have a strong visual eye, blending technical geekery with genuine compassion for the people I meet on set. I love the challenge and reward of filming, directing, and being part of teams that create great visual stories.
There, that’s the 15‑sec short version when you’re in a hurry. Keep reading if you want to know more.
I’m Bryan Fowler, a DP and DP/Director since 2003 with a deep love for visual storytelling and people. I started with thousands of photographs in high school and college before evolving into a career crafting films that truly inspire.
I’ve collaborated with brands like Nike, Amex, Pepsi, and IKEA—plus many more too numerous to list. I’ve helped produce everything from raw doc-style narratives in the arctic to polished commercials in sunny LA. It’s not really for the awards, but I do have a few 10+ Telly awards, three Addy awards, and one Emmy. It’s regional, but my dad thinks it’s cool.
I’m always excited to be on set with other professionals. I love taking charge when needed and helping make the day go well, working through the myriad of hiccups that can pop up on set. I firmly believe we’re all on the same team, and while direction and hard decisions are necessary, kindness and compassion are the best ways to get the job done. And, of course, coffee and humor are mandatory too.
