ABOUT THE TEAM

Brian Briggs and Heather Putman have worked together as business partners, photographer and assistant, and road companions for more than 12 years. Their work brings them far and wide, to the most remote corners of the country, and the biggest, most exciting cities.

Where are they based? Wherever their custom Ram 1500 happens to be! For those rare times they are not on the road, Philadelphia and Chicago are home.

A new photo and travel memoir on their adventures is being published soon.
