Minyahil K. Giorgis

I love photographing people and working on creative projects - let’s get the obvious out of the way, there done!

Why do you do it?     Oh thank you for asking…

Thank for for taking an interest, I have always had a love for film, theatre and music from a very young age, and the older I got the more passionate I became about theatre. So I started a career in theatre as an actor, and it wasn't until my second year of university that I had my very own camera to photograph the wonderful people I found myself surrounded by. It was this need to document my passion for theatre & design that started my love affair with photography. Photographing people made me realise just how much I enjoy meeting and working with new people, so I took photography more seriously, then one thing lead to another and BOOM Giorgis Media is born.

That is a great story, but why should I have you take great looking pictures of my face/show/project?

I always like to talk with my clients before the date of the shoot, that gives us both a chance to figure out what kind of an image we want to create. It’s a collaborative effort, so what you want to get out of the images needs to be established early on. I try to capture the personality of the individual whom I photograph, while trying to give as many options for characters as possible when doing head shots, for theatre productions I make sure the lighting, costume, performance, design, atmosphere and essence of the shows are captured, to give potential audience members a taste of what great shows you have waiting for them.

What about us musicians & non creative people? 

Wow wow wow, just because I am passionate about my creative background doesn't mean I won't work with you, lets talk...  

I don't see any of your pricing, do you negotiate?

I factor a lot of things in to my pricing, things like travel, camera gear, lighting, editing time, software, computer, tax etc... and the prices I quote based on the requirements of the job reflect the costs of my business, I provide a professional service where you will receive high quality images very quickly and are invoiced efficiently.
