More about BJ G....
What do you love about your job?
I love when a photo grabs you and pulls you into a different world or time. A good photo doesn't just touch your eyes, it unlocks something deeper. This is an art that requires not just a technical mind, but a creative soul. And the look of excitement, nostalgia and wonder on the faces of clients is one of the most satisfying and rewarding experiences I have known.
What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?
When I shoot events, my goal is to be the fly on the wall and capture the moments that might otherwise go missed. Clients love my ability to move through a crowd and get the right shots. I'll duck, crouch, perch on a ledge, and even hang upside down if I have to. Small businesses like my product photography since I take time to get to the root of the statement they are trying to make. I've also done a number of individual portraits where my main goal is to make the client feel comfortable with me and treat me like a friend. Many shoots have ended in a coffee or a beer to keep the conversation going.
