Rasto Brezny works in abstract fine art, travel, architectural and documentary photography. His acute sense of color and form dominate his work. A passion for travel combined with a keen interest in other cultures provides a fertile source of images.

In conjunction with a career stemming from a PhD in engineering, he completed a certificate from the New York Institute of Photography. He has studied with several of the world's renowned photographers in Master Workshops at the Maine Photographic and Santa Fe Photography programs.
