Bryan believes a socially responsible photographer leaves with a part of the soul; and in return must give by helping those in need. Bryan helps to arrange medical care at the local level, provincial level, and national level. and has even helped Lao children to travel overseas for heart surgery and facial-reconstructive surgery. Bryan donates all the proceeds from his photography to the Bryan and Leila's Lao Children's Fund.
Bryan and his wife Leila Srour, a pediatrician have been living in the Lao People's Democratic Republic (Laos) since 2002.
