I'm from Toronto, with the ability to produce video and photo content. I studied television broadcasting and photojournalism in two separate college courses over the last ten years, and have been freelancing since 2010. Since then, I've served clients from the international news wire to individuals and everything in-between. I'm a seasoned traveler, having been on five continents. I relish new opportunities for learning to satisfy a curious mind, and always enjoy working with people of diverse backgrounds. My passport is current and I'm happy to travel for work. I speak five languages with varying aptitude, and can say "hi" in at least a dozen more. While my video work isn't yet integrated into my website, you can find short examples of local news-feature content I've created on my Vimeo page at https://vimeo.com/giofotoimg Thanks for checking out my profile, I look forward to creating attractive visuals to engage your viewers and tell unique stories.

I worked in advertising before becoming a visual artist, first as an account executive then as an art director. After moving to a tropical island (true story), I took a little detour and went to culinary school, working in professional kitchens along the way. Eventually, I hung up my apron and started shooting and writing about food. My passion for photography, motion and writing became culinary storytelling, and my tools for self-expression. As I continue to evolve and broaden my scope as a storyteller, I lean on each discipline—art direction, culinary arts, photography, writing—to help guide my work and my vision. Bold ideas thrill me as do colour and print, drama and whimsy. I'm equally passionate about the potential of a strong, stand-alone image as I am about the creative components in a captivating film. I'm based in Toronto + Los Angeles and create everywhere. Let's make some killer work together.
