Tosh Brown developed his eye for imagery during a ten-year career as a sporting travel outfitter and hunting lodge owner. With an ongoing need for brochure photos and no budget for professional photography during those years, his ratio of presentable images to throw-away shots improved significantly.

Since his transition to full-time photography in 1999, Tosh's hunting, fishing, and travel photos have appeared in over fifty outdoor magazines. Tosh also licenses stock and assignment images to a number of advertising agencies, outfitters, and sporting apparel/product manufacturers that recognize the value of quality photography in their marketing programs. From Alaska to the Amazon, Tanzania to the South Pacific, Tosh's stock photo archive is available for commercial and editorial license and covers a broad range of hunting, fishing, travel, and nature subjects. If you're working on a tight deadline, these shots can typically be posted for hi-res download within minutes of your request.

Tosh has written and photographed three non-fiction books. He has also edited reprints of the classic sporting editions, Hunting and Fishing in Texas (Hart Stilwell 1946) and The Book of the Tarpon (A.W. Dimock 1911). From 2003 to 2005 Brown wrote the back page column for Fly Fishing in Salt Waters magazine. His writing currently appears in a number of angling and shooting magazines, including Gray's Sporting Journal and The Drake. Essays and short fiction about wing shooting, fly fishing, and sporting travel are his specialty.

In 2008, Tosh formed a subsidiary company Departure Publishing with plans to facilitate a select list of accomplished sporting and expedition writers. Departure's first book The Alaska Chronicles, by Miles Nolte, will release in early 2009.

Tosh graduated from the University of Texas in 1986 and currently lives in Austin with his wife, Kathy, and their children Blake and Emily. When he's not shooting photographs, he divides his time between a busy family schedule and a semi-healthy obsession with birds, fish, rods and guns. Tosh is available for slideshow presentations and book signings. Please inquire for rates and details.
