Kieran Brownie is a photographer based in Squamish, BC

Kieran is a mix of Scottish and Welsh blood, the first of either lineage to be born on the West Coast (East Van). He was often told that travel was a necessary part of understanding the world, and it is, though for Kieran distance has nothing to do with it. He chose to stay put, and his work reflects this decision: an ongoing investigation of attention and the relationships that form from being present.

Through this practice Kieran looks to photography as both document and response, attentive to place and the people that make it.

His work emerges through shared interests, long conversations, and time spent returning to the same places.
