Updated 1/3/12: Back n CT for next two months locked in the studio working on serious art projects only!
galanstudios@gmail.com = super laid back photographer always looking for new models, new concepts, new ways to tell a story
Since it always comes up I should mention this...all of the pics on this port are unedited test shots, I don't show anything but tests because I dont favor having my images or ideas used without my consent (re. Im fkin paranoid about ppl stealing my ideas-cause if I see someone else do it first, i probably wont want to).
I have a conceptual art and photojournalism background and prefer to shoot projects based on expressing concepts and ideas. I am also aquainting myself with other forms of model photography at this time (fashion, glamour, fitness, erotic, maxim-style, GG & SG, etc.) so tfcd ideas are welcome. If we can collaborate with each other in such a way that I am learning something new, or working towards completing one of my many conceptual art projects, I am willing to trade. If you would like standard headshots, glamour shots, or help creating a comp card for a specific magazine or audition, please contact me for my rates.
Simplicity is in
Less is more...

Photography is Meditation
Artistic expression is an ongoing learning experience that has to be constantly cultivated even when it is not profitable.
Middle Eastern Abercrombie:
Current themes:
Projects dealing with ideological contradictions, and judgements. Basically the shots will involve scenes intended to evoke an emotional response from the viewer, and then upon examination offer an entirely different perspective, forcing them to intentionally choose how they want to see the image.
A series of portraits of models with obviously attractive faces and/or features which will be diminished, reduced, altered, with makeup and or other materials in order to analyze how the raw elements of shape, form, light, and inner essence coalesce to create beauty.
A woman's shape and form reimagined through the input of multiple model's each selecting the part of them they wish to donate towards the final image (nuff said)
One of my fav qoutes>>"The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life; the procedure, the process is its own reward."
