Gian often uses styles, approaches, and thinking that go against groupthink and formal education.

Unlike colour, black and white images are easier to work with their settings of contrast, exposure, etc...

Photography for him is not about the gear and technology itself. It is through free speech, self-expression, and advocacy. He is giving back to towns and communities by sharing his art.

Gian has an appetite for fashionable young women. Particularly Asian women. Cosplay and gravure photoshoots are his thoughts for portraiture works. Not a larger family portrait. Eventually, Gian may start opening up with TFP (trade for prints) photoshoots.

While doing street photography. Gian the artist, employs a "First Amendment Audit" approach on the streets, parks, and public sidewalks. The approach will extend with small business brick-and-mortar where picture windows are large enough for passersby and random people (like myself) to check and peep on. This is not a peeping tom if blinds and curtains are not draped down the window.
