You can call me Geo!
IMAGE MAKER & ARTISTIC VISIONARY
I am a freelance photographer and creative consultant currently based in Cologne, Germany from San Francisco, CA.
I enjoy photographing portraits, editorials, and commercial projects that convey concepts or stories. In my free time, I immerse myself in creating personal projects to keep my creativity fresh. I created a few fine art series like Body Distorted, Our Childhood Fears, The Bikes, and Inner Conversation.
I am also happy about consulting and rendering unique ideas for my clients' creative needs. I love to collaborate and to work with other designers and artists and creating something amazing.

“I need to thank an amazing man: Geo (Broken Perception) for being a stunningly amazing photographer! I had so much fun during this photoshoot collab and I can never imagine going to another photographer! Geo is so friendly and professional, but more importantly, he is a true artist with a vision! Here's to many more rainy afternoons in the studio. To my people in Cologne, now ya'll know who to call for all of your professional pictures!”

—Jens - A Vernissage 2019
“Gerard describes how his work confronts childhood fears, staging scenes that examine our haunting memories and apprehensions. Here he employs a simple but hugely effective framing device, pulling the viewer towards this young girl clutching her toy, with a void of darkness behind. The lighting is expertly handled, highlighting her worried expression... It articulately describes a feeling that so many of us can relate to – of that door closing, and the darker impulses of our imaginations running amok.”
—Life Framer - Youthhood 2018
“Big thanks for the photos!!! This looks so nice, I never thought I could look normal :D

—Tanja - A Vernissage 2019
“He arrived on time, worked efficiently and unobtrusively in the background. He was courteous, friendly and maintained a very professional demeanor throughout the event. He was also very properly dressed which is a very important factor, given the nature of our event.
After the event, he promptly delivered all our nicely enhanced image files. It was truly a pleasure working with him and I will have no second thoughts in working with Gerard again, given the opportunity.”
—Chiqui from Marriott 2019
“Thank you very much for your pictures. I want to tell you something... I haven't ever looked at a camera as I did at your studio in all my life. My current personal situation and all the experiences I have been through, allow me, at least, to feel pretty, free and happy. And you were there with your camera and all your professional knowledge in the right place and in the right moment.
My family and friends love the pictures too.”
—Maria - A Vernissage 2019
“Your images are very dynamic. They are full of life and mystery! Photographing nudes in complex environments can be a very exciting practice. I would strongly encourage you to keep pursuing this idea...
...I very much enjoyed looking at your photos and thinking about the ways they express your ideas. I appreciate the way your images are masterfully considered and carefully designed. I can’t wait to see what you will do next!”
