AARON McGRANE

Photographer/Cinematographer

I prefer William Carlos Williams to William Shakespeare and Basquiat to Michelangelo. I don’t necessarily believe in astrology, but if you looked up ‘Capricorn’ there isn’t a lot in the description that I could deny. It’s easier for me to make friends than keep them and that bothers me a lot less than it used to. I’ve had more careers than most people have had jobs. I took my first picture in 1983 and my most recent picture yesterday and I still haven’t figured it all out.

I went to Paris to study abstract painting, New Mexico to study watercolors, and the streets of Detroit to learn music videos. I spent my 20’s in Colorado and my 30’s in Michigan, but I’m most at home in my mind. Jean-Luc Godard once said “Photography is truth” and I still believe that’s possible. Art saved my life. Yes, there really is a Kalamazoo.

INFJ-T. I believe in the dignity of work. I’m confident but I prefer to be underestimated. Hire me and you’ll get my full effort and attention.
