preferred! I also have an Elinchrome battery power
pack kit that comes in handy. I like natural light,
but it usually requires a kick with a little flash or
large scrims, etc.

FMM: How would you describe your style?
JG: I like to describe my style as anything dramatic. I hope my images are viewed as powerful. I
want people to wonder how the hell it was made.

FMM: You are a self-taught photographer-how
difficult was it to learn the skills on your own.
What style of photography did you start with
(fashion, portrait, fitness, etc)?
JG: I feel I’m always growing and learning and
have certainly not perfected the trade. However, I feel the beginning stages of learning came
quickly for me. I worked my ass off, shot often, and
experimented with reverse engineering until I felt I
had the knack of a certain style dialed in. I started
mostly with fashion and portraits, and I became
interested in fitness photography a few years into it.

FMM: Whose work has influenced you the
most?
JG: Honestly, I don’t follow names. I see work all
over the internet and in magazines that inspires
me, but I couldn’t tell you who shot it. I feel like
following photographers makes me feel envious
and less productive, but I’m definitely inspired by
the work of so many great artists out there. >>>
