Photographer Overview

Brian Doben’s ongoing “At Work” series documents everyone from tattoo artists and sumo wrestlers to chemists and prosthetic limb designers. His process has brought him all over the world from Los Angeles, Tokyo and Mumbai, to Cuba, Israel, Australia and all over the US.

‘At Work’ is a study of our world and how the people in it follow their unique callings.

Brian’s editorial clients include Vanity Fair, Travel & Leisure, and Town & Country. Working for these publications and many advertising clients such as Apple, Chase, Lexus, Sony, Google, Paypal, Intel and Intuit, has brought him to far-flung locations. Each of these cultures have taught him new things about how humans approach the important work they do and how to bring that to life. He has the ability to compose complex images and capture genuine moments that emerge on their own, under his direction.


Brian has received awards from the Society of Publication Designers, American Photography, and Photo District News. He was one of PDN's 30 Under 30, Kodak's Photographer of the year, and the inaugural photographer on PDN and Kodak's “Emerging Artists Series” website.

His work is also part of the Museum of the City of New York's permanent collection.
