One Photographer’s Dream Cover Truck

- JOHN MATA JR.

YOU’VE SEEN BRANDON BURRELL’S PHOTOS AT SOME POINT IN YOUR AUTO MAGAZINE READING EXPERIENCE DURING THE LAST 20 YEARS. His work has appeared in Street Trucks, Truckin’, and Mini Truckin’ magazines on a regular basis throughout the last two decades. This man shoots it all—show coverage, tech pieces, feature stories, and cover shots. In fact, this particular Street Trucks issue marks Brandon’s 34th cover since he started out as a magazine photographer around 2001.

Brandon has built his career on capturing still and action photos of the accomplishments of truck builders from all over the country. A lot of work goes into creating a magazine-worthy pickup, and it takes a skilled eye to properly photograph that work for print. While Brandon has helped make the dreams of so many truck fanatics’ dreams come true throughout his time behind the camera, he has recently had the rare privilege of shooting a very familiar truck for this month’s cover—his own.

This accomplishment is not one that every guy gets to enjoy, but Brandon is most definitely deserving of finding himself in this position.
