"a trusted creative partner who genuinely wants to help you tell your best possible story."

Brian isn’t just a phenomenal photographer. That would be too easy. Rather, he’s a trusted creative partner who genuinely wants to help you tell your best possible story. I brought him a rather complex request for obscure photo/retouching needs for dental typodonts to showcase various products, specifically braces. What he delivered back to us was nothing short of amazing. Brian brought life to the product and offered up real creative solutions that beyond exceeded expectations. I am hoping for future projects to work with Brian again as his talents are absolutely world-class. I cannot recommend Brian and Digital Art that Rocks enough. If you need a pro that brings superior creativity and ability to the table, your creative deserves Brian.

"A CREATIVE LEADER"

Brian has great vision and mad skills to turn a simple idea into a creative work of art... He is a creative leader and it would be in your companies interest to hire him.

"BRIAN IS BY FAR THE MOST GIFTED PHOTOGRAPHER & DIGITAL ARTIST I HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE OF KNOWING IN MY CAREER"

He is a talent with an unquenchable thirst for learning. I stake my 18+ years of Design and Art Direction by saying, Brian is by far the most gifted Photographer and Digital Artist I have had the pleasure of knowing in my career

"We've worked with a lot of world-class photographers over the years but I am confident in saying that Rodgers is by far the hardest working photography instructor I've worked with."

We’ve worked with a lot of world-class photographers over the years but I am confident in saying that Rodgers is by far the hardest working photography instructor I’ve worked with. He worked at least 15 hours every single day preparing, filming, and then post-processing each of the shots for this tutorial without a single day off. We filmed this tutorial in in just seven days but it’s taken us months to finish editing it.

"TO SAY YOU CAN COUNT ON BRIAN TO DELIVER BEYOND EXPECTATIONS IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT"

Brian impresses you not only with the high quality of his work, but also with his work ethic. His ability to stay on point and execute when conditions are less than favorable is truly impressive and an example to those around him. To say you can count on Brian to deliver beyond expectations is an understatement. Brian’s work speaks for itself.
— Daryl Zernick of OnSite Health (via Linkedin)

"UNFORGETTABLE FINISHED IMAGES"

Brian’s product work has really made an impression on me. In some of his most memorable shots he has combined fire and smoke with his products to produce some unforgettable finished images.
— Lee Morris of Fstoppers (Read it here: https://fstoppers.com/architecture/10-more-photographers-you-should-be-following-fstoppers-80995)

"BRIAN WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL, NICE & JUST PLAIN EASY TO WORK WITH"

I hired Brian to do a professional headshot for my job.  I’m not a big fan of getting my photo taken and would never classify myself as photogenic.  Brian was very easy to work with.  He was very quick to respond to my request and was able to accommodate me in less than a week.  He was very professional, nice and just plain easy to work with.  His final project came within a couple days and I admit I looked great!  Would definitely look to Brian for any future photography needs!
