Lindsay Elliott

My photos are informal and anchored in real life. I like to show a sense of humour and see people and places like they’re being viewed through the eyes of a friend. I love photography because I’m in love with that split second you would miss without it. Throughout my work, but especially in the beginning when I photographed clubs in the mid 00’s, I was heavily focused on photographing people in those in between happy moments, like dancing in a packed club in the city, feeling beautiful and free. I was influenced at the time by photographers documenting Los Angeles night life and creating celebrities by way of their respective blogs. In later and more recent work, I want to keep seeing authentic smiles in my photographs, but also explore other emotions available to me. I’ve also committed to making inclusivity a main pillar of my photography practice. My current work always reflects my community but also the communities growing around me that have graciously allows me access to their lives, businesses, and passions. I have a strong desire to really know those people who let me in and trust me to show the world how their friends see them.

Terri Glanger

I shoot food, people + interiors and love each of them. Often I am lucky enough to combine all three in one shot! I love to work with clients and agencies to create images that will clarify and elevate their brand. It is important to me that every photoshoot is collaborative, relaxed, efficient and FUN! TGP is equipped to handle all aspects of production for shoots of any scale. I team with producers on larger scale productions to ensure a smooth and successful shoot and client experience. Two things: • Based in Dallas, TX • Shooting professionally since 2000 (and for free since a long time before that!) Education: University of Texas at Austin (hook 'em!) BFA in Studio Art (the degree most likely to result in big money) A stab at being serious: I graduated with a BFA in Studio Art, with a primary concentration in photography. I learned almost nothing about photography as a career, but having my roots in fine art always felt like a good thing. It gave me an invaluable understanding and reverence for the art and honed my ability to "see" thoroughly and critically. I always strive to capture a genuine moment and / or to see things in a unique and compelling way. I love the collaborative aspect of commercial shooting. I care very much about delivering for my clients — it is their time, their money, their brand and if i’m chosen to represent it, I will always give 100%.
