More about Gregory A....

What do you love about your job?

I'm a people person, and I love helping people present themselves in their best possible light, and to help them capture a moment in time.

What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?

I have shot everything from fashion magazine ads, to prints that have been displayed in fine art galleries, to headshots and portraits, to weddings. I'm not sure what is is that makes them special, but I think I have a way of connecting with my subjects that puts them at ease so I can capture authentic images that don't look posed.
