I’ve worked with Garth for over ten years. I’ve asked him to climb mountains, travel across the state and get up at 4am in winter to get the shots we’ve needed for dozens of campaigns and brands. And he’s done it. Gone further and pushed hard to figure out the best way to bring our ideas to life. We keep coming back to Garth because my team know that he cares, and they can rely on him. And he is a lot of fun on set!
