Geoff Ang has a celebrated career as a fashion photographer and now a well-known regional commercial photographer and an ambassador, for Phase One and Profoto.
But not many know that he started out as a still life photographer. For a still-life photographer, light is one the most crucial element as it is the only substance that brings life to an object.
His lighting methods are exquisite and very refined. At times, Geoff can be seen holding up his hand in the air and letting the sunlight fall on it and see how it lights his hand and mesmerizes it. It feels like a private moment for him as a photographer.
In his free time, he's out breaking waves on a stand-up surfboard, or when he's out watching his little girl climb trees or strolling along the beach, he is looking at the light bouncing off the water. He likes to observe the way sunlight, the moonlight, the streetlight create light and shadow.
Geoff's approach to photography is like art imitating life. He takes life experience and applies it to his craft.
As photographer and founder of Geoffstudio, Geoff sets a very high bar for himself in perfecting his craft and a standard that all our clients have come to appreciate. He clearly loves what he does and loves working with people who share his passion for creating great work. Geoff is also an established TVC director, a natural diversion for a photographer. A director may yell Action! but Geoff's action is his payback to the community and industry that made him possible.

An Exclusive Interview With Brice Gelot
"Nothing's more interesting than reality. So from rough areas that never see tourists to poor neighborhoods where I can find chaos, I find beauty. I let the street speak, and I just document what I see...”
Mark Edward Harris: Wabi-sabi and the Japanese Aesthetic
"From the 6th century until the introduction of the Gregorian calendar in 1873, Japan used a variation of the lunisolar Chinese calendar that was divided into 24 seasons. These mini-seasons were determined by the phases of the moon, the rise of the tides, and other natural phenomena. Living in constant contact with their surroundings - the mountains, the ocean, and their all-important rice fields - people were acutely aware of even the smallest changes in their environment and often celebrated them with "matsuri" (festivals).
