I’m Brian Humek, a native of Park Forest, Illinois (a suburb south of Chicago). I’ve been shooting people, places and things since I received my first Kodak Instamatic camera many years ago. I began taking photography more seriously when I was given a used Mamiya DTL 1000 in high school. In 1998 I began visiting ranches in the Texas panhandle and documented life on the working ranches in and around the small ranching community of Clarendon, Texas. That time spent chronicling cowboy life resulted in the exhibit Western Traditions: Cowboys, Cattle and Clarendon. The photos were shot with the simplicity of manual film cameras such as the Pentax K1000 and the Mamiya DTL 1000.
In 2008 I bought my first digital camera, a Nikon D-80. I now spend much more time shooting people, places and things.
My images have been featured in American Cowboy Magazine, the Vernon Daily Record, The Financial Times, Forbes.com the Stockyards Gazette and various textbooks and other publications.
