Levi Gardner

Hi!

I'm a young photographer just getting going in the business. I have photographed around 30 weddings over the past 2 years and am now branching into shooting fashion. I'm friendly and flexible, willing to try unique work if I think it's possible.

Things I like include:

The high fashion look
Summer-themed outdoor fashion
Unique, out-there concepts blending genres or styles
Natural light (also will use studio light if necessary)
Photos inspired by vintage art or cinema
Simple beauty

World renowned artists who inspire me constantly include:

Annie Leibovitz (Portrait photographer, but I love her work nonetheless)
Steven Meisel
Bruno Aveillan

I'm also a fan of the work of:

Jeremy Cowart
Joey Lawrence
Mic Mojo (can be found on flickr)
Lara Jade

Things I don't like include:

Seedy old guys with cameras who call themselves photographers
Slutty portfolios
Cliché beach or bikini shoots
Selective coloring of any description
Studio shoots that look like pixifoto

In summary, I'm here to create art. I believe photography is a beautiful artform and has been severely abused by some people.

I'm looking to do TF* at this stage, please contact me either through MM or levi@levigardner.com (you can check out my recent work at levigardner.com) if you are interested in organising a shoot sometime!
