Brian Opyd loves photography so much he sometimes can’t remember when it all started.

His wife can. It was in London. 2002. And she was rubbing his shoulders after he carried a 5-pound tripod on his back for an entire week. But who could blame him. It was his first trip to Europe, and he was inspired.

In 2006 Brian moved to Europe, determined to capture the continent. Since then, various (and thankfully lighter) tripods have become more like extensions of his body than anything else and have helped him take images of everything from dealers at Paris flea markets to the breakfast bar scene in Madrid.

Brian is an exclusive photographer for iStock. His travel photography has been published by National Geographic’s glimpse.org, Planet Green, and AffordableCallingCards.net. He has also done editorial photography for Switzerland’s National English Journal, Swiss News.
