Killer B Photography - About Me

(Taken by my girlfriend Amy Tapia)

Greetings Web Surfers,

My name is Brian Maglietta and I am a rare breed of surf photographer and a web designer from the Washington D.C area based in Virginia. In this site you will find great action photography, as well as nature and scenic photography, and the occasional portrait. I do have a love for photography and web design, and thought it would be fun to combine the 2 professions. I started taking pictures back in high school and really got into it after I got my first published shot in 1996 for Eastern Surf Magazine. Action based Photography is still a side project with my full-time job, but it is a strong passion of mine. I am a senior surf photographer for Eastern Surf Magazine , and a contributor to SURFER, Surfline, ESPN's action sports and Surf Carolina Magazine. I hope you enjoy my website of photography. Thanks for stopping by.

Sincerely,
Brian Maglietta
