Self portrait, 2019

It all begins with an idea.

Brian Mayer founded Ninetails Productions, a visual storytelling firm developed out of his long-standing passion for photography and filmmaking. Raised within the scenic Poconos of Pennsylvania, Brian initially began capturing the world around him in grade school, motivated by nature's beauty and the world around him. His interest in visual media was an early foundation for a career that spanned artistic and professional realms.

In 2016, Brian enlisted in the Marine Corps and served honorably for over eight years. In his free time, he started a photography company in 2019, putting his first DSLR investment into commission and developing his skills steadily. After he completed active service, he moved to Florida and rebranded his work as Ninetails Productions in 2024, integrating photography with filmmaking as one single creative pursuit.

Brian relocated to Casper, Wyoming, in 2025, where he continues refining his art with professional gear like the Sony a7iii. His photography reflects the military discipline combined with the artist's touch of emotion and storytelling. In his spare time, Brian attends Arizona State University for a degree in Anthropology and enjoys gaming with friends and family, reading novels and informational books, and drawing inspiration from current films—all fueling his next big visual adventure.
