This week I had the pleasure of talking to Greg Gerla. Greg is a commercial and fine art photographer here in Calgary. I met Greg a few times over the last few years at several of his shows but this is the first time we’ve been able to sit down and actually meet. And what a conversation we had! In this, the first part of our conversation, I learn of his balanced approach to the craft. How commercial can inform art, and vice versa. How social media is not the bane of art, but rather another piece of artistic expression. But one, like fast food, that needs to be consumed in moderation. Greg’s a photographer in nature and he shines light on how to maintain creative engagement in our passion.
