Gia Studios

I'm a fun photographer. I have been shooting for 15 years, but a camera has been in my hands for 23 to be exact. I focus on photographic illustration, fine art, fashion, glamour and portfolio development. My experiences shooting include professional sports, theatrical, nature and just about every aspect of photography you can think of- with the sole exception of product photo work.

I am dedicated to my shots and  the task, and am determined for perfection in every look or situation.

Randomly I will shoot a TFP job to work towards a long term production or publication submission.  If I am willing to, it simply means that I see much better things to potentially come from the work, or that shooting TFP will benefit me through networking somehow. My TFP shoots are unlike any other photographers I can assure you. I put the same work ethic into them as I do in any working situation.  They last hours, and the model will typically walk away with over 500 images she or he can proudly add to their portfolio.  But.. To get there expect to put the same effort, I won't be the only one at the shoot contributing to your portfolio... Use creativity and expect to work hard!

I have been told that I'm the friendliest to work with. I keep a very laid back attitude and truly make the best of every situation. I am available with relatively short notice, but prefer to shoot afternoon's evenings and on weekends when I am not given the chance to prepare two to three days in advance.


NOTES TO MODELS....  I do photograph nudes, however I will  only do so after establishing a working relationship with you or you have asked for nudes during a TFP session.

ESCORTS:  If you feel you need to bring an escort along with you to the shoot please do, the studio has a waiting room for them.

TFP Sessions....Time for print sessions typically will last approximately 4 hours, and the model will receive the entire shoot worth of pictures. Sessions will generate no less than 500 pictures, and a vast majority of these shots will be usable in your portfolio. 


TFP First.... Majority of the time I will only shoot TPF prior to hiring or contracting with a model. This allows the establishment of a productive and professional working relationship. Further opportunities will then arise for models that I am comfortable with.


PORTFOLIO DEVELOPMENT: My packaging is flexible, but don't expect me to give away everything.  I charge according to what I see as equitable for the time and equipment I have to use. For a 3 hour shoot, 6 wardrobe changes and 700 shots to select from expect $ 575.00.

I am familiar with prices that photographers charge and this in total is much better in price, quality and certainly quantity.


To my Billing Rate... If I am expected to release any form of rights to photos that I take, I surely expect to be paid for my time. My rate is  $ 175.OO an hour and many will tell you well worth every penny- as the quantity and quality of shots is well in tandem with good composition.
