Brian Andresen was born in Portland, raised in Junction City, and currently lives outside of Eugene. He has deep roots as a fifth generation Oregonian.

Bryan’s photographs typically are the result of an enthusiastic journey in search of unique glimpses of our world and the humans that inhabit it. He has had a life-long interest in photography; from his earliest years, a camera has typically accompanied him on outings. Starting in 2016, he has described himself as a “serious amateur”. He conjectures that the toxic and ugly political climate of that year stimulated in him a deep desire to bring something of worth, meaning, and beauty into the world. As noted by Emerson, meaning in life may be better grounded in nature than American politics, religion, or literature.

Retiring from medical practice in 2019, he joined Eugene’s Photo Zone the same year. He now devotes considerable time, passion and enthusiasm to the study and practice of photography.

His images open a small window into a feeling of wonder and mystery, underlying the cycles of nature.
