“It was exciting to shoot with Bryan. He was so much fun to work with. Watching him in action as a photographer was very inspiring. We both seem to love to push the boundaries of our crafts. He is a successful global artiste and an accomplished photographer. He chased his passion, tried new things and is hugely successful in all his chosen fields… in some way, it made me feel like I wasn’t crazy for trying all these new things after all.”
