Welcome
The primary function of any gallery should be to provide thought-provoking entertainment. Additionally, however, this particular website stands as a portfolio for the creative work of R. R. Branström, a North American artist whose medium of choice tends to be a Canon EOS 7D camera and EFS 10-18 or 18-135 mm lens.
Also showcased are a small sample of written articles and a handful of pen-and-ink pieces. During the creation of the latter, quills of assorted styles are most often dipped in India ink. Variations have been known to use nib-less utensils and paint, in which case the method becomes hand-lettering instead of true calligraphy. Branström prefers ink, but both styles are on display in the collection.
To hire R. R. Branström for event or lifestyle photography, to commission a written or calligraphed piece, or for any other discussion, question, or remark, an interested party may contact the artist directly (see contact page). Please address questions regarding commissions of any kind by e-mail or phone.

Links to shops and blog are featured on the contact page as well. Feedback from visitors to the site is always welcome and appreciated. Any image seen in the galleries not already listed for sale may also be made available to purchase.
Poetry surrounds us everywhere, but putting it on paper is, alas, not so easy as looking at it.

Some photographers take reality as the sculptors take wood and stone and upon it impose the dominations of their own thought and spirit. Others come before reality more tenderly and a photograph to them is an instrument of love and elevation.

To behold art properly, or to see through the filter with which an artist views the world, is to reach a comprehension of the ephemeral and the eternal that is simultaneously fraught with both pain and ecstasy.
