Brian has covered all seven years of our annual Muhammad Ali Humanitarian Awards. I also asked him to document what took place at the Ali Center in the days following Muhammad’s passing. I trust Brian for the big projects. He is easy to work with and always delivers.

Brian was my primary photographer for about 5 years at Prep Magazine. The quality of all his photos was first rate and he collaborated very well with other contributors to the publication. Brian became an excellent food photographer during our time working together, which is an acquired specialty. I would highly recommend Brian Bohannon for any photography work.

Brian was great to work with. He was professional, exceptionally prepared, attentive to our needs, unobtrusive to our guests, and his photos are fabulous!

As the editor of a monthly publication, I worked with Brian for over 7 years on countless assignments. He goes above and beyond to get the perfect photo, whether shooting on deadline for publication, capturing the highlights at a corporate event or posing a senior for a casual portrait. Brian is an excellent photojournalist, is great with people, and is prompt and reliable to a fault. Hire him.

Brian was professional, prompt and wonderful at answering questions. He turned in great photos that we will be using in both our print and online publications. Great experience!

As a performer, I need my head shots updated fairly regularly. Brian has done two excellent shoots for me, is very pleasant to work with, and I'd recommend him for any photo job.

Brian captured my grandson’s Muhammad Ali themed birthday party at The Ali Center! He was punctual, fun to work with and willing to take pics at an additional location! We received the digitals in less than 72 hours and very reasonably priced!

I needed some head shots on a tight deadline. Mr. Bohannon was able to accommodate me on short notice. He was very professional and detail oriented. He also gave me plenty of photo options.
