    I highly recommend GZ Photoz. The atmosphere was welcoming. He asked me what I wanted and he definitely delivered. The finished work is very professional and he knows how to adjust to every moment of the photo session, back ground scenery, poses, music, his make up artist had me looking and feeling flawless. I have been on many photo shoots and never received the feeling of being under the spotlight, it was my moment to shine. Sometimes I would tell photographers not to take pictures of my side profile and they didn't but Curtis Jermany said, don't worry about it and after I reviewed the finished work of my profile pictures, I became enlightened. That profile picture is now posted on my website. Thank you so much. The experience was awesome and I'm looking forward to another session at GZ Photoz.

    I had the pleasure of shooting with GZ Photoz and Curtis was very professional, on time, and went above and beyond his services. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to get some professional pictures taken with an artistic flair!

    I hired Curtis to take photographs of me for my lifestyle modeling portfolio. The pictures he has taken of me are simply amazing and I believe jump started my work in the lifestyle modeling industry. He has a keen eye and also has provided advice to me on how to catch my best light as well as other areas to continually improve on. I appreciate his professionalism, discipline, work ethic and all around great knowledge of his field. His passion shines through his work.

    I hired Curtis to help me add to my portfolio with headshots and sum theme photos. His whole crew was great to work with.High energy, enthusiastic about their job and my shoot. I definitely hope to work with them in the future I LOVE the finished product. Curtis was very comfortable to work with and it made it easier for me. Being a new model it's easy to feel overwhelmed sometimes but he was very helpful directing me and giving me tips. The whole team was very willing to help me with anything I needed it was much appreciated. GZ PhotoZ is where it's at!

    When I first saw Mr. Jeremy's work i was wowed. Not until i went in for my first and definitely not my last shoot, was i in complete awe! He has the most humble and wonderful spirit I have come into contact with in the professional world in a long time. I was delighted to experience such a quiet spirit, I already said humble, but i will say it again. He is truly talented and gifted with that special touch artistic character. You rock Curtis!!!! Look forward to working with you again, May God bless you and your family with all the desires of your hearts. Bless you Sir.

    Curtis is a true talent.

    I have admired his photography for close to two years - via Facebook and local community events.

    What I can appreciate is his level of professionalism as well as his fun/contemporary artistic style. The quality of his photography speaks for itself. After recently experiencing my first photo shoot, I am sure that I will be a recurring client.

    Curtis shot my Commercial head shots and they were very impressive. I was in LA and the talent agents complimented me on my shots. If you need professional head shots, Curtis is the person.

Question and answer

Q. Describe the most common types of jobs you do for your clients.

A. The most common photography work we do at GZ would be portraiture for family members both child and adult. However as a commercial studio we handle all manner of photography from simple product and food needs to elaborate music concepts for cd covers and fashion work.

Currently I'm seeking to bring in more infants and toddlers. It would be nice to become a photographer for all the important moments in a child's life.

Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A. Look for a photographer whose style complements your needs yet versatile enough to provide you with more to choose from.
I have a preferred style that suits me well as an artist, but many may not realize that my skills also include corporate, commercial and event photography.

In most cases raw images are received via cd after the photo shoot. Edited images of client's choice are usually delivered within 7 business days of client's decision
