My name is Grant Beecher. I am a connoisseur of geek culture, an avid comic book fan, a flea market prowler and a vintage sci-fi hound. I have been photographing since 2003, but I made the jump to professional portraiture in 2009. As you may have guessed, I photograph mostly vintage-style pinups, tattooed models and alternative fashion. I love prop hunting, building sets and exploring unique and outlandish concepts. I intend to push my portfolio even further in that direction in 2012. I am currently working toward building a client base and expanding my operations from the Northeast Georgia area to all of the east coast. Keep an eye on the site and watch for travel notices, as I may be in your town soon! I SHOOT ONLY FOR PAY OR PUBLICATION. Acceptable forms of payment are cash, paypal and unique prop furniture. If you have questions about rates, please contact me via email.
Background
I was born in Savannah, GA, but grew up in rural northeast Georgia. I attended Emmanuel College and received my BA in English in 2008. Since then, I’ve been working retail to support my photo habit. In October, 2011, I quit my day job to pursue photography full-time. In the past year, I’ve begun to draw more interest and land more publications as my skills have improved. Here is a list of some publications in which my work has been featured.
Retro Lovely Magazine.
Inked Girls Magazine.
Ol’ Skool Rodz Magazine.
Skin & Ink Magazine.
Cat’s Meow Magazine.
Pinup Perfection Magazine.
Modified Dolls Magazine.
Pinup America Magazine.
Bella Morte Magazine.
Prick Magazine.
And one small ad shot in Playboy Magazine that I must mention.
Working With Me
Models: I am a very calm, jovial, respectful kind of guy, and I put models’ safety and comfort above all else. I am completely hands-off, meaning I never touch models while shooting unless my assistance is specifically requested, so I recommend that you bring a female escort to help you with wardrobe. I do a lot of directing during my shoots, but I am absolutely open to letting you do your own thing as well. I do not shoot bottom nudes at this time, and top nudes/implied is by your request only. I will never ask you to do any pose or look that you are uncomfortable with, and I have a hundred different models ready to vouch for me. That being said, I am up for almost any idea you may have, and I am comfortable with everything from the most conservative headshots and portraits to alternative fetish fashion and latex.
I am always for hire for any type of photographic project. I am particularly experience in portrait photography, but I have also photographed products and events with great success. Please feel free to contact me about a project, no matter what the type or scale. I will travel anywhere if expenses are paid.
Thanks for reading!
