About Me

"We are as much as we see." - Henry David Thoreau, 1841.

I'm José A. Giralt. After spending more than 22 years printing photographs in commercial darkrooms, I went back to college to earn my bachelor's with a dual major in Art History and Ethnicity & Race Studies. In June 2019, I received my master's degree in Journalism.

I am on MM seeking to build a body of work with diverse talent.

I'm mostly interested in working with an aesthetic that projects confidence. No experience is necessary, just a willingness to relax, collaborate, and let the photo shoot inspire your spirit to shine through.

Photoshop philosophy: less is better, little is best. I like porcelain skin on dolls and statues only, not on humans.
"To banish imperfection is to destroy expression." - John Rushkin, 1851.

I shoot TFPs on occasion; here is an FAQ sheet:

Note: All talent must sign a model release - no exceptions.
IMPORTANT: ANY STUDIO SHOOT NOT CONFIRMED AT LEAST 3 DAYS BEFORE AGREED DATE WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY CANCELLED

"Jose is so down to experiment and engage in collaborative ideas, whatever they may be. We had an awesome time playing with themes, lighting, static and active shots. He was willing to take time and work on my own ideas and shots that I felt I needed to expand my portfolio; which I am extremely grateful for. Highly recommended! :)" Read less
