FMM: What do you believe makes a perfect
fitness model?
JG: Besides the obvious-being fit, I need a model
to be powerful in the eyes. They need to work hard,
yet be comfortable and easy going.
FMM: What kind of tools do you use for post
processing? Explain your work flow.
JG: I use Adobe Bridge to sort through and organize my photos. I then do all of my post-work in
Camera Raw and Photoshop CC2014.
FMM: You have an amazing way of making your
subject stand out in the image. Is it your lighting
or the post production or both?
JG: It’s absolutely both. I can’t bring out drama in
post if the lighting wasn’t just right. I’m very meticulous with my lighting because I know what I can
bring out later in post. The two combined together
make photos come alive!
FMM: Do you prefer color vs BW and why?
JG: I really have no preference. I think each photo
calls out to be either color or BW. I do love the

power of BW though and feel they tend to be the
most dramatic, but just not every photo is meant to
be in BW.
FMM: You also paint-tell us about your painting
and what is your motivation?
JG: I always sucked at drawing and painting…
BAD. There was just something in me that wanted to figure it out. So I did, and I was absolutely
shocked and thrilled to death. It’s been one of the
most enlightening and exciting experiences for me.
It’s a lot of fun creating something with hands on
materials (oil and canvas) as opposed to the digital
process. I feel every ten years I do a creative
shift and it’s been ten years since I started photography. Painting and video have been my new
outlets, outside of photography of course.
FMM: How can MOST readers find you? Website, blog, facebook, etc.
