About Southpaw Imagery

New Orleans jazz musicians

Art born from curiosity

Southpaw Imagery is the photographic work of Brian Paugh, a self-taught photographer drawn to honest moments, powerful light, and the beauty of everyday places.

From Midwestern landscapes and Americana to music, travel, street life and intimate details, the goal is simple: create images worth spending time with.

I work with Canon cameras and edit in Lightroom, learning through experimentation, observation, and an enduring curiosity about the world around me.

Photography for the walls of real life

Each piece starts with a story. This site is where I share those stories and make select photographs available as fine-art prints.
