I'm Adam Gori, the owner and sole photographer of First Person Photography. First Person Photography specializes in custom, black-and-white family and pet portraits, weddings, and special-event photography. I do all the photography on location—in your home, at your work, or any place congenial to you. Ideally it should be a place that is significant to you and in which you feel at home.
The style of the photographs could be described as candid or documentary. The guiding principle of First Person Photography is the preservation of the integrity of the subject; in other words, I prefer the scene to guide the camera. I do not direct you, ask you to pose, or interfere in what you choose to do during our time together. I don't use flash or lighting equipment, and my small, quiet cameras help to make the environment relaxed and comfortable.
I rely only on available or natural light, which lends a natural harmony to the subject, and I use traditional black-and-white film and darkroom methods for their classic quality, simplicity, and the serene dignity they impart to the finished print, which allows the personality and atmosphere of you and your home to shine through. I do all enlargements by hand in a wet darkroom on fiber paper, carefully crafting a print that is a nuanced and unique work of art.
