I discovered the photography of Brian Nice in 2009,
when he published Rescue
Tails: Portraits of Dogs and Their Celebrities, a project that was inspired by his
own dog, a Pug named Buster, who was losing his eyesight. Buster was later
helped by the Humane Society and proceeds from the sale of Nice's book continue
to benefit the organization.
Nice has been a photographer for thirty years. His career was
originally launched in advertising and fashion photography. Nice was at the top
of his craft when he suffered a series of severe, life-threatening traumatic brain injuries. After numerous
surgeries, vigorous therapy and a life now spent in a wheelchair, Nice has
remained undaunted in reinventing himself—personally and professionally. With
great courage, inner strength and the support of a loving family, Nice is
continuing to pursue his photography as a fine art, now with a completely new
focus.
On September 27, 2013, Brian Nice and his team embarked on an exciting
cross-country road trip to photograph the American landscape. Brian hopes his journey and the images he captures will inspire others, especially TBI
(Traumatic Brain Injury) survivors, to see past their own limitations and do
what they love. The project will include the production and promotion of a
gallery exhibit of photographs, a full-color coffee table book and a documentary film about Brian and the journey.
