Garrett continued to follow Steampunk
Chuck via social media. He continued
reading his page and watching his videos,
almost becoming a student of his craft.
After a while, Garrett decided to try a
Steampunk shoot of his own. He refers to
this time as "BC" or "before Chuck". He
gathered his own wardrobe and
accessories and did the shoot. It was very
successful, and Garrett was hooked!
In March of 2015, he learned that Chuck
was going to be in Ohio again. This time,
he was going to be in Cincinnati, which is a
six hour drive for Garrett. Initially, he did
not plan on driving that distance.
However, he received a message from
Chuck asking, "Are you ready?" to which
he replied, "For what??"
Chuck had remembered Garrett from their
previous conversation and wanted to see if
he would be interested in his workshop.
Garrett decided to take the opportunity!
He arrived early Saturday morning to meet
with Chuck. They sat and chatted about
photography and business.
Garrett found that Chuck was very laid
back and easy to talk with. "I felt that I had
known him for a long time, and we worked
very well together! I got to shoot three
models that day, and it was very
invigorating!"
That evening, They discussed doing business
together. Garrett booked Steampunk Chuck
to come to Franklin, PA for two events. They
just wrapped up their third event earlier this
month.
The events in Franklin have been very
successful. Garrett and Chuck have a fantastic
working relationship. "He
( Chuck) knows what will compliment
someone's physical appearance. He can bring
out their inner and outer beauty through his
images. That is what I am striving for, and I
have a good teacher."
Garrett was also able to travel to Boston to
meet C
