About Garrisson E. Peña

I’m a photographic artist living in Southern California.

My creative journey began when I discovered photography at a young age from borrowing my father’s camera on a trip to Utah. I’ve been photographing for more than 15 years and consider photography as my passion. I primarily concentrate the majority of my efforts exploring my home state of California, but I’m always searching for the next odyssey. Away from photography, I find fulfillment from reading, listening to podcasts, playing chess, rooting for my Dodgers, and being at Disneyland.

Artist Statement

I identify myself as mainly a Cinematic Photographer.

I’m heavily shaped by movies and television. My vision focuses on searching for the moments that move and mystify me. I don’t consider my photographs a direct reflection of the conventional standards of photography. I see my photographs as a movie frame of personal expression. I merge what I’ve absorbed from movies and learned from photography to forge my visual intuition. I seek to convey immersion in my imagery, and hope my reverence and patience for the creative process engages your imagination.
