From the moment he received his first camera, a box-style Fujica at age 15, Brian Black Hodes has been compelled to document the human condition.

Raised within an international life, traveling the world from early childhood, Brian developed an instinctive global perspective and an uncommon sensitivity to the emotional undercurrents that bind humanity. His work does not simply record events, it reveals longing, resilience, and the quiet truths of the human soul.

At just 16 years old, Brian’s photographs of the 1978 Tel Aviv Coastal Road Massacre were seen around the world, bearing witness to the stark brutality of hate and the urgency of truth. That moment defined a lifelong commitment: to look directly at what others turn away from - and to keep going.

Since then, Brian has traveled extensively, capturing lives near and far, seen and unseen. His ability to connect instantly and deeply with those he encounters is unmistakable, and that empathy is powerfully translated through his lens. His images carry pain and hope in equal measure, illuminating stories that might otherwise remain invisible.

A lifelong cyclist, Brian has brought this same intimacy and emotional precision to the world of elite sport. Over the past two decades, he has documented the world’s greatest athletes and races, photographing The Tour de France, The Giro d’Italia, and La Vuelta, along with numerous international competitions. His cycling photography has been published internationally in leading magazines. His work reveals not only triumph, but vulnerability - those fleeting moments of victory, loss, and human fragility.

Brian Black Hodes’ collected body of work stands as a testament to our shared humanity - an enduring reminder that we are profoundly interconnected, and that this interdependence should unite us, not divide us.
