Faughn Photography

My name is Brianna Knodel and I’m a 

photographer in Yuma AZ that has a keen passion for wildlife and landscape photography.

Photographing since 2008, I’m a self taught photographer who strives to give you a complete story with just one image, taking a moment and capturing it for all time.

I strive to impart stories and feelings behind every image I take. I make the images come to life in post processing to bring to life the colors of nature and tug at the memories that mean the most to you.  

Come and take a peek behind the camera and let me tell you about myself. My name is Brianna Knodel and I am self taught photographer. I am a landscape and wildlife photographer with the occasional foray into the western heritage and Native American culture.

The first time I ever took a picture, I was about 10 years old. Standing on the back porch of my house during a monsoon storm in Phoenix AZ. I had my moms’ 35mm camera, and I was standing in the pitch black with the camera against my face clicking away. I wasn’t very successful, but when I saw that one picture with that one lightning bolt, I was filled with pride and I knew then that I wanted to pursue photography.

I have always loved being outdoors; weather it was hiking, bicycle racing or camping, I've always been on the go. It was natural for me to choose to photograph the outdoors. When I moved from Arizona to Montana and then to Washington State, my passion blossomed. With the beauty all around me, and deer almost around every corner it was as if I found myself. I couldn’t stop taking pictures; first with my phone then with my first “real” camera, a Nikon L810 point and shoot.

They say that a picture is worth a thousand words; But I believe that it’s important to impart more than a story with my photographs. I believe that the feeling behind a photograph is equally important. I believe that this aspect of my photography is something that I will be learning on a deeper level each and every time I touch the shutter button.

The process behind every order is meticulous. I order the print and inspect it for flaws when it arrives. After I am satisfied that it’s perfect, I sign the print, repackage it and send it off to you.
