Brian David Price’s (formerly known as Brian Branch Price) is an American documentarian and portrait photographer, director and author whose career has varied from assignments internationally, to professional sports' championships, to commissioned fine art projects and to the grinds as a daily newspaper and wire services photographer.
Brian’s methodology has evolved to employ a traditional documentary and reportage approach that allows for his subjective interpretation of the subject. The driving concern of his work is to explore the Black Diaspora focusing on the realities of the Black experience in the Americas and Africa. Among is ongoing projects is “The Gospel, According to the Rhythm and Praise,” which is currently on exhibit at the Photoville Festival in New York City. Other projects include, “The Black Cowboy, An American Institution,” the Black maternal and infant mortality rate, vanishing communities, Black cyclists, BLM and Black gospel legends.
His career began at Howard University's student newspaper, The Hilltop. Since then, his work has been published worldwide from his stints at The Washington Post, The Atlanta Journal and Constitution, The Detroit Free Press, The Associated Press and now with Zuma Press. His freelance assignments have included celebrity portraits, Super Bowl XLVIII and the 2015 UCI Road World Cycling Championships.
In October 2025, Price endured a horrific car accident, which left him Tetraplegia, also known as quadriplegia, which is characterized by paralysis in all four limbs. He has been classified as disabled, according to the spinal cord injury classification. Ever the photographer, he has been toting his camera around his neck to document his recovery, dubbing the project, “Shooting from the hip.”
