We are deeply saddened to learn of the death of local photographer--and frequent Sarasota Magazine contributor--Brian Braun. "Brian had the ability to elevate the ordinary into art," says Sarasota Magazine creative director Gigi Ortwein. "And he always enjoyed slightly off-beat assigments."

Above are a few of our favorite images he shot for us, from sunset scenes to dive bars.
