to drive some of the most rare and most expensive<br />

cars on the planet. It has also allowed me into car related<br />

events, parties and collections that the general<br />

public is typically not allowed to attend.<br />

DT: What type of equipment do you use?<br />

GG: I currently am using a Canon 5d Mark III with<br />

Canon L-Series lenses and ashes.<br />

DT: What would you tell the new photographers<br />

entering the car scene?<br />

GG: Photograph cars because you appreciate and<br />

are passionate about them, not for the bragging<br />

rights.<br />

DT: If you had a dream car, what would it be?<br />

GG: e Ferrari F50 for sure! Some day one will be<br />

sitting in my garage.<br />

DT: Is photography your profession?<br />

GG: It sure is. I run a local Entertainment and Public<br />

Relations photography company. We shoot a lot<br />

of red carpet events, award shows, galas, concerts,<br />

corporate parties, executive headshots and panels.<br />

I also shoot a lot of weddings on the weekends, as<br />

well.<br />

DT: As you are very involved in the car world, where<br />

do you see the hobby going?<br />

GG: I see it continuing on for many years to come.<br />

Eventually I would like to add some automotive<br />

clientele to our predominately entertainment list of<br />

clients at work.<br />

DT: Do you expect to be “shooting cars” for the rest<br />

of your life?<br />

GG: Of course. Each year, car companies around<br />

the world release the latest and fastest cars. I can<br />

always count on the newest automobiles to make<br />

appearances at Supercar Sunday. I plan on taking my<br />

grandkids to Supercar Sunday if that says anything.<br />

DT: What do you consider the best part of being an<br />

integral part of our car community?<br />

GG: e friendships! I have gained so many lasting<br />

friendships, ones in which we all share the same<br />

passion.<br />

DT: Are you available for private shoots?<br />

GG: Of course, feel free to give me a call or send me<br />

an email. I am on Facebook as well.<br />

DT: What else do you like to do besides photography?<br />

GG: Photography is a big portion of my life, however<br />

I love to scuba dive, snowboard, attend heavy<br />

metal concerts, watch classic movies and best of all<br />

spend time with my wife and daughter.<br />

DT: Where can others see your work and years of<br />

documentation?<br />

GG: My photos are all posted to<br />

www.exoticcarfotos.com. I also post “the best of the<br />

best” photos to my Facebook fan page:<br />
