ABOUT
Searching to find the correct words to explain myself is so incredibly difficult. I guess I am just like everyone that walks the earth. Unique in my own way. I have several idiosyncrasies but everyone does, I have several dreams but everyone does, I have moments of clarity but everyone does, I have moments of doubt but we all do. Look, I am not going to blow sunshine up in the air and give some super composed soliloquy about how my life is a series of F- stops and aperture settings, and how I see life through the lens yada yada yada. I am just a guy that loves the art of photography. I love people and I love creating images. I am an entrepreneur, and a lover of life. I cherish the ideology that as individuals we can dream up anything, and as long as we put our heart, mind and soul into it that dream can become reality. With hard work and ingenuity it is my belief that we can accomplish any goal. Every living soul has some special gift. I guess mine is being a creative and a person that will keep trying until my goals are met. My name is Gil Grantlin and I am a Concept, Fashion and Portrait Photographer.

THE MISSION
The mission is to learn about myself and others through life as it relates to the art of Photography. The goal is to become a great portrait and conceptual artist. I intend to fully document the ups and downs that I encounter while pursuing this art and everything it has to offer. I am sure there will be moments when I fall completely on my face and I am sure there will be moments when I feel I am on top of the world. I know this is a serious business and it is definitely not for the faint of hearts. I want to become a force but I know that starts from a fizzle. I have started my company KLIK FOTOZ to prove to myself that I can not only reach for my dreams but I can hold them. I have always been the type of person that never wants to look back on life and say,” Man I wish I could do what they are doing.” Man if only I would have tried that, I could have been there.” I can become what I see in my mind only if I allow my mind to be free to create. This means hard knocks, scrapes and bruises are a welcomed part of this journey. This new chapter in my life has come out of what some would say has been a serious struggle. From being homeless, to losing businesses, hell to losing everything I have ever worked for along with relationships, friends, and business associates in kind. All in all KLIK FOTOZ is comprised by me, formed by me and created by me. I have worked very hard as well to assemble a great team of people that are super creative and talented in their own rights. These are people that have their own thriving companies but they work with me to bring these crazy ideas I have to life in the format of photography and film. Through the KLIK FOTOZ website, and various social media outlets I fully intend on reaching the goals I have set for myself. So what are the goals you might ask? The moniker that my crew and I live by is Bringing Life to Art! With that being said, we work to have the opportunity to eventually shoot with some of the industry leaders in fashion, and the arts to produce and turn people into art pieces, then present the creations through the mediums of photography and film. We of course want to work with celebrities but the main goal is to take the undiscovered and regular people from regular everyday life and turn them into stars in their own right. This will be easier said than done, but what is life without a challenge here and there. We don’t live in the largest metropolitan area, we have not shown our work in Paris and Milan as of yet, we don’t know how we will get to where we want to be but we are here to document our story and our life’s as we fight to leave our mark, and leave our mark we will. I welcome and invite you to join my associates and I as we work towards our goals. GET WITH THA KLIK!!!!!!!!
