When Brian Doben began working on At Work over 10 years ago, he had already been a professional photographer for 15 years and felt as though he had lost his voice or perhaps never found his own voice. Following a near-fatal bike accident, Brian realised that to find inspiration, to find love, he had to spend time with people who love what they do.

From ranchers in Texas to a chemist in Boston, a sumo wrestler in Japan to street performers in Cuba, At Work is a collection of photographs of people just doing their jobs. It is a study of our world and how the people in it follow their unique callings. The photographs in At Work capture genuine moments that emerge through conversation, not necessarily direction.

In At Work, Brian Doben celebrates the dignity of work and reminds us to remember what it's like to do what we love. To have a conversation, capture a moment, relay a message, and create an image you won't soon forget.

About the Author

Brian Doben is a native of Brooklyn, New York, with a passion for capturing the essence of people through his lens. Graduating from the Rochester Institute of Technology, Brian's love for photography has taken him on incredible adventures across the globe, capturing moments for renowned publications like GQ, National Geographic Travel, Vanity Fair, Travel & Leisure, and Town & Country. His global adventures in photography have spanned over 50 magazine covers, encompassing celebrity, travel, and fashion. From the Arctic to the Antarctic, Bhutan to Paris, Europe's cities to Madagascar and Argentina's wild terrains, his lens has embraced diverse cultures, infusing his work with captivating human narratives.

In the advertising domain, Doben is highly esteemed for his skill in crafting visuals that seamlessly blend complexity with genuineness. A diverse array of clients, spanning from renowned brands like AT&T, Chase Banking, NBC and Walmart to significant players such as American Express, Apple, Dell, Ford, Google, IBM, Lexus, Microsoft, UPS, YouTube, and Sony, have reaped the rewards of his talent. His ability extends beyond orchestrated scenes, delving into capturing unscripted, authentic moments that add depth to every image.

His talent hasn't gone unnoticed. Brian's work has been honoured by prestigious institutions like the Society of Publication Designers, American Photography, and Photo District News. Awards like PDN's 30 Under 30 and the coveted Kodak Photographer of the Year have cemented his reputation. Notably, his impactful photography is showcased in the Museum of the City of New York, especially his moving photographs in the book "Brotherhood," which beautifully depicts the resilience and spirit of New York City firefighters following September 11.

Brian now resides in New England with his family, continuing to weave compelling visual stories. Through his photographs, he invites readers on an enchanting journey that transcends boundaries, revealing the rich tapestry of human stories through his captivating imagery.
