Meet the Business Owner

Stephen G.

Business Owner

I am from Wales in the United Kingdom, which is where I completed a degree in Documentary Photography. In 2008 I moved to Arizona with the sole purpose to study a Masters of Fine Arts at Arizona State University. I graduated the Masters program in 2011 and I’m currently creating a business that is dedicated to changing how photography is taught in the classroom and how images are produced within my field. My work has evolved around the human spirit and my goal is to capture this essence and create an image that is a true representation of my subject. This is an inherent skill that has been honed through nine years of study and over forty years of life experience. Something that sets me apart from other photographers is that I shoot with film. This gives an authenticity to my work that has a unique quality.
