New book looks back at 50 years of Brownie Harris’s photography career
WECT News 6
Whether Brownie is photographing the luminaries of our time or ordinary people at work in factories and on farms, he is focused on their story and approaches everyone with the same respect.
The challenge of finding the hidden beauty in the working-world drew Brownie to corporate photography. He was able to quickly spot the area of visual interest and bring the subject to life with expert lighting and composition to tell the subject’s story.
After receiving a BFA in Communication Arts & Design from Virginia Commonwealth University, Brownie headed to New York City, where he drove a taxi, painted lofts, and served as a photo assistant. He landed a job as a graphic designer at Educational Broadcasting Corporation and soon after, at the age of 22, he created the photography department for WNET/Thirteen/New York/PBS. For more than 40 years, Brownie has traveled the world on assignment specializing in annual reports and corporate advertising. After 23 years in New York and Paris, he is now based in Wilmington, North Carolina.
