Brian bielmann biography

United States. Participated in. Buy Photobook. Brian Bielmann Photographer. Nationality United States. I was born in New York in and started surfing in at the age of In I did just that, and so at age 17 I was living in paradise. Since then I've never looked back. When I was 21 I decided that I would be a surf photographer, but it still took a near death collision with a reef to get me off my surfboard and behind the camera.

It has now been 30 years of surfing and photography for me, and what a long, strange trip it has been. Lots of crazy people, lots of exotic places.

I graduated high school and moved from the east coast of Virginia to the North Shore of Hawaii.

Not much money, but a fantastic life. I have been lucky enough to see — and in a small way be a part of — the evolution of the sport of surfing. I have seen technology change the way a wave is ridden and I have watched the pictures I used to draw on my notebook of surfers riding giant waves become a reality. My goal is to try to keep taking the viewer to places they have not visited and to see things unlike anything they have seen before.

I pray that I continue to see the beauty in what God has created and be able to continue to spread that beauty with my own vision.
