About Artist
Brian Hawks
Brian Hawks is a Utah-based fine art landscape and night-sky photographer whose work explores the quiet places where land, light, and starlight meet. Drawn to expansive landscapes and overlooked corners of the American West, he creates images that aim to express not only the appearance of a place, but the feeling of standing within it. His photography is rooted in patience, careful composition, and a deep sense of wonder. Through panoramic nightscapes and intimate landscape studies, Brian invites viewers to pause, look longer, and reconnect with the scale and beauty of the natural world.
