Brian Hollars, Director of Photography 

Brian Hollars is a seasoned cinematographer whose career has taken him through many of the major film hubs across the United States. A proud Midwesterner, Brian earned his BA in Telecommunications Video Production from Ball State University in Indiana. From there, his professional journey has been as dynamic as the productions he’s helped bring to life.

He began his professional career in New Orleans, working as a union lighting technician on blockbuster film sets. His path then led him to New York City, where he expanded his skillset as a gaffer or cinematographer. In Atlanta, Brian joined the camera union as a camera operator and cinematographer, finding a unique niche as a Behind-the-Scenes cinematographer for major studio films and television productions.

Now based in Denver, Brian has made Colorado his home, balancing his love for the outdoors with the career of Director of Photography at Oswego Studios. With over sixteen years of industry experience, his portfolio spans Hollywood feature films, episodic TV, documentaries, music videos, commercials, photo shoots, and branded content. His work is especially focused on lifestyle, high-end documentary, and commercial work.

When he’s not behind the camera, Brian can be found hiking Colorado’s trails with his wife and their two dogs, playing music, or deepening his yoga and meditation practice.
