The Creative Playground

Brendan Ross is a professional photographer whose enthusiasm is capturing just the right image for business clients in the United States and Canada. He is known for his ability to do this within the oftentimes strict confines of client demands, budgets, and deadlines. "Brendan understands that we run a business here and we can't afford to hold things up with less than optimal performance on the part of the creative people we hire. Budgets are tight these days, but Brendan delivers singular photography --- sometimes even award winning --- within increasingly rigid client constraints," said Rick Van House of Know Advertising. "He does just about all of our photographic work." Brendan spent the early part of his career in traffic and PR at Ross Roy, Inc. before deciding photography was his mission. He has spent the last 30+ years sharpening his eye and his technical skills to help ad agency executives, marketing professionals, and other creative types convey the heart of a message quickly and profitably to the target audience. It's his intuitiveness and imaginative bent coupled with his business sense that makes him stand out in his field. He is a member of the Advertising Photographers of America and the Business Marketing Association, Chicago Chapter. Brendan was the official photographer of the Biz Bash event sponsored by the BMA on June 3, 2010 in Chicago. He is also designated a Certified Business Communicator by the BMA, a credential attesting to his professionalism, including education, experience, knowledge, and ethical practices in the field of business communications. Brendan photographed the TEDxDetroit event in 2011 through 2015. In 2011 he was a member of the photo team, and served as lead photographer and Board Member the last four years.
