Mrs. Stephen Grant Photography

To the wind beneath my lens! Always there, always encouraging, never short on laughs or love.

Happy Valentine's Day, Gian!

New Website!

Open 24/7, no cover charge, all shiny and new. Come on in!

If you are using high speed internet, like cable or DSL, give the "flash" version a shot. If your connection is slower, try the "html". Both offer the same content and information. The website is a great place to read about my style, review galleries of work, submit a question, and review pricing and package basics. The site will continue to evolve as new work is added, and I'm polishing up a feature that will make it easier for clients to review proofs and purchase prints.


This blog will continue to be the place to visit for the most recent updates and debuts of new work.

Thanks for looking!

Red Triangle

Clients always like to know who they are doing business with. They desire to put a face with a .com. It instills confidence in the client, and demonstrates that you, as a business owner, are not afraid to step out and stand behind your brand.

Red Triangle Inc. recently embraced this thinking and commissioned portraits of themselves for their evolving business. This particular session was staged at one of their residences, and we worked to be creative with the residential surroundings, which were actually quite vibrant and full of color. I always like to include an interesting background and experiment with posing, something that will bring out personality and put a client at ease. During the shoot, we talked a lot about what makes a pleasing photograph, and how difficult it can be to sometimes let your guard down and be yourself in front of the camera. As always, the best pictures are snapped when the client does what feels natural to them -- laugh, smile, be serious -- be you!

Red Triangle specializes in problem solving and consultation. They are also developing some viable self-publishing solutions for writers looking to realize their work in print. I'd like to thank them for the session and their good nature, as well as our mutual friend, Barbara, for introducing us and recommending me for the assignment.

And soon enough, I'll be uploading my own picture. Practice what you preach, right?

Ready For Your Close-Up?

I'm fast at work on a few new developments: a slideshow, fresh images from a recent portrait shoot, and an exciting project I don't quite want to reveal just yet, but should be ready to launch in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!

In the meantime, here's some other work of mine I thought I would share. It's a bit different from what I usually post, but this is a place to talk photography, and I think it's good to exercise the eye and try new things now and then. These abstract close-ups were shot on film. The subjects are pretty commonplace and unassuming: wood, plaster, chipping paint. Who cares, right? But, when framed just right, when reconsidered through the lens, their surfaces surrender some interesting compositions.

Have a look, see if they keep your boat afloat, and come back soon for our regularly scheduled programming!
