Hi! I would say my passion for photography lies within my love for visual storytelling through everyday moments and the human element. I always like hearing the client's needs and ideas, but I also offer my own visions during our creative process as we shoot.

For new clients who may be unsure or not too comfortable in front a camera, I tend to start by having them simply ignore me and focus on the surroundings while I photograph them, and then when they feel like it to look towards the camera.

We then go through this session so the client knows exactly what they're liking or may want to do differently.


What I love most about photography in general is being able to capture someone's essence and uniqueness. For example when I'm doing a dance shoot, I look to capture the dancer as much as the dance itself.

    Gabriel was an absolute pleasure to work with; professional and warm, and very talented. I'm not very comfortable with having my photo taken, but needed to do it and he was able to put me right at ease and produce great photos.

    Golden Lion Photography is very professional and a diverse talent, always love working with him! We've experimented with so many themes, from futuristic conceptual work to shooting me with my classical violin. Highly recommend!
