Though the middle of Iowa is known for its corn and hogs, Brian Stewart, a portrait photographer in the area, is quickly making a name for himself as one of the most distinctive photographers in the state, if not the country. Stewart, whose Web site is located at http://www.stewartphotography.net has spent more than a decade in all forms of studio photography. But it is with children and babies that Stewart really excels.

In his biography on the site, Stewart starts off by noting the best-selling car in the world is a Toyota Camry. “Ever hear some one say, ‘Gosh, I wish I had a Camry!’ Set yourself apart.” That is what Stewart aims to do with every single portrait he shoots. This certainly carries over to his Web site, where his techno music and theming blend to create a very contemporary setting that goes well with his portfolio.

His portraits are not the typical, run-of-the-mill photos you see from so many studios. Stewart uses each of his subject’s special characteristics and wardrobe choices to the utmost effectiveness, creating a visual artistry that most photographers can only dream of. While nearly any photographer can take a good photo, Stewart not only takes a good shot, he is a master at choosing the proper setting and props. Together, they create a complete picture that families will enjoy for years to come.

Stewart choices of style also work in his favor to create visually intriguing and captivatingly interesting shots. Whether they are posed or action shots, Stewart seems to have a knack for putting his subjects in exactly the right setting. His black-and-white photography nearly seems as lifelike as his color shots. Finding an artist that can transcend a lack of color is, indeed, a rarity. He is also known for using color to highlight certain elements of black-and-white portraits, which creates yet another way to draw attention to the subjects, or an element of the subjects, in a very distinct manner.

Stewart’s Web site, of course, focuses on the various portrait types in which he specializes. His portfolio section is perhaps the most appealing, showing off examples of his work with children and babies, high school seniors, and families. However, for those wanting to know more about Stewart, his “Meet the Artist” section provides a good overview of him and his style. It also includes another superlative photo, this one of Stewart himself.

Those who visit the Web site may find themselves going back time and time again just to see his latest creations, whether or not they ever visit Iowa or become one of Stewart’s numerous clients. Of course, a visit to http://www.stewartphotography.net may be just enough to convince you to take a road trip.
