More about Craig G....

What do you love about your job?

I just love the creative nature of capturing special moments. Whether its a landscape, wedding or family shoot

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

I have photographed many weddings and families. I would be what you call a documentary style photographer who sits backs and captures the moments as they unfold. I don't like formalised, posed photography. I enjoy making my clients feel relaxed and at ease in front of the camera.

A fun fact about this photographer

I love living in Launceston. My family and I moved here two years ago from Melbourne and love the more relaxed pace not to mention the beautiful landscape that is everywhere.
