Sail On Sailor And The Beauty Down Below
All the action was above me. Lots of people atop the Venice Pier taking lots of photos and videos of this picture perfect sunset. As is often the case, I chose the path less traveled and scooted around and under the pier for a different perspective.
There I discovered that in just the right spot–the pier would create quite a nice frame for my image. I also liked the juxtaposition of the hard massive pilings and the tiny delicate sailboats skimming by.
I appreciated the sailors navigating into just the right spot for me too. Very nice of them to accommodate. Thanks a lot, kind seafarers!
Hey, all this sailing stuff reminds me of a wonderful classic song: “Sail On, Sailor” (link below)

My Beach Beast Beauty
Here’s my bestest furry friend Nunzi enjoying a spectacular sunset. Winter is the finest season to create these vibrant colors, so me and Nunz make sure to catch as many sunsets as possible then. I could tell my mighty fine canine was really digging this wonderful one and at one point he just turned to me and said WOW!
The Wedding Dance
Yeah, yeah, I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking I broke the main rule/restriction of my Silhouette Spirits series—no posing or setting up of people. Or seagulls or sailboats or whatever happens to end up in my images. Yep you’re thinking I surely just got some models, and posed them, just-so, for this image. It’s so obvious, Greg! They didn’t just happen along by themselves and position themselves thusly.
Well I got a stack of bibles I’m swearing on here, and I’m telling the truth. And the truth told to me by this woman’s best friend who was nearby. She explained that the couple is getting married soon and they decided to practice their first-dance routine here. Thought it’d be cool at a romantic sunset setting. So they went dancing and twirling all around, this way and that.
And I, at a distance, was fumbling rumbling running on the sand, this way and that. Going high and low, fast and slow, trying to keep the sun in the frame in a good spot, and zooming the lens in and out for the most affective perspective, and adjusting the exposure manually because… well I won’t bore you with more technical junk.
Let’s just say it ain’t an easy thing to do and to capture, and it took over 50 snaps, and admittedly, a big dose of dumb luck to get this one perfect romantic image.
And no, I didn’t do anything in processing to manipulate the look of that wow sun as a couple of friends asserted I must’ve done. Nope. That unusual freaky looking orb can occur on it’s own. Once in a blue moon, the sun will conspire with various aspects of fog/mist/clouds at the ocean horizon, bouncing the light to and fro, and achieving those segmented vibrant color layers and bizarre shape shifting.
And that tall tale is the true story. I hope this couple, who really seemed to be head over heels in love, has a wonderful wedding. And I’m grateful to them for cutting up a sandy rug for me, and I hope they live happily ever after. Thank you kindly, whoever you are!
Great Beach Basketball
Basketball’s my favorite sport, and although I’m not a real sports photographer, I’ve been fortunate to get jobs to shoot several Hall of Fame hoop heroes. Yep it was quite thrilling for me to hang out and shoot Magic, Kobe and Carmelo Anthony. Some of the bestest ballers of all time, and they were all quite nice gentlemen to me to boot!
Anyway, I proceeded to run over to the famous Venice Beach basketball courts, where you can often find a very high caliber of players racing around in pick-up games. I was lucky enough to show up when a particularly pitched battle between two teams of high octane athletes were going at it. So I got down low to the ground, and close to the action, and started doing my own sharp shooting. And Mother Nature nature did her part, tossing up a nice sunset swish with excellent timing and vibrant color. And I got damn lucky capturing this split second shot just as the guy was in the act of elevating to throw down a monster jam that had that poor hoop shivering in pain for quite a while afterwards.
Racing The Sun
I was running late as I raced down the beach to snag the sunset before it vanished. Which was gonna be real soon. I was hoping to create an image for my Silhouette Spirits series and was thusly searching all around for silhouettes.
Now one of the rules I set for this series is that I can’t use models or stage anything, so I have to just capture real people doing whatever they happen to be doing at the moment. No manipulating.
Down the beach to my left was a child fishing and that looked like it had interesting possibilities and I headed in that direction. But then my dog, Nunzi, gave a bark and I turned around in the other direction to my right. He was cocking his head in that odd fashion a pooch does when they’re trying to figure out something they see of interest. Which for Nunzi could just be an interesting seabird swooping around since he’s a bird dog.
But nope, no bird of note. Nunzi turned back to look at me again and barked more emphatically. Then in the distance I was able to see a group of people doing something but couldn’t make out what exactly. I looked back at the fishing kid which was looking like there were some good visual possibilities going on.
Tick-tock, tick-tock went the sunset clock. Less than five minutes remaining. I’m pondering if a fishing kid in the hand is worth a group in the beach bush? Arf! My fine canine was voting for the bush. I went with the arf!
We raced down along the surf as the sun raced down to the horizon. Who would win? As I finally reached the group, it seemed I won big-time–the visual possibilities were wonderful. There were a couple dozen people, all wearing headphones, dancing and gyrating to some silent song and basically acting as perfect silhouette models for me. Such luck! It was perfect.
Breathing hard, I collapsed on the sand and crawled around, composing some shots while my shadow models did wonderful posing–unbeknownst to them. I was able to shoot for only a couple of minutes before the sun said bye-bye.
But I thought I very likely got a mighty fine image. I made sure to give my fine canine all the treats I had in my pocket. He made a great call. Arf!
Back home I checked out the bounty of good captures and this image here is one of my all time favorites. I even gave Nunzi half of my steak that night. I wouldn’t have won that sunny race without him. Arf!
Magic Moonlight Night
It’s rare that I shoot at the beach at night. But we happened to have one of those super moons going on. And I happened to have a beautiful woman with me. And she was open to doing some posing.
We had a gentle very low tide so there were numerous puddles for reflection possibilities this night. My friend was also nice enough to be patient while I tried and tried to find the perfect puddle. And then the perfect angle of moonlight sculpting her figure just so. Creating that cool double silhouette of three dimensional human and flat ocean reflection.
This one’s probably in the top-ten of my favorite photos ever in my over 30 year career. A magic night indeed.
Sky’s The Limit
Oooo’s & aaaah’s were showering over the rolling acrobats as they flew across the golden sunset sky. This large SRO crowd, last Sunday at the Venice Skatepark, very much appreciated all the derring-do being done before their wide eyes. Sometimes breaking out with spontaneous applause as the effortless grace of this adrenaline-fueled and bodacious ballet played out as if it was all choreographed ahead of time.
I was enthralled with the constant action I witnessed this day, and found it quite challenging as I attempted to capture the high-speed action with my camera. I took over 200 shots and maybe got 5 good photos. This image is my favorite, made special by the guy in the middle, who seemingly appears to be crashing his head on the sky’s ceiling. He actually soared even higher than pictured—going up up up, and totally out of my frame in the next fraction of a second.
I have a confession to make—I ain’t got no knowledge about anything regarding skateboards or skateparks or what skaters are doing and what the heck the various tricks are called. But do I despair when I’m dumb about stuff? Nope, not anymore. Fore in these extreme modern times, I can always turn to my new ChatGPT pal. And fool people that I’m really smarter than I look.
So I clicked the button on my phone app and asked my dear friend said, “Hey Chatty, please give me 100 words about the origins of skateparks.” And this what she said:
“Skateparks originated in the 1960s with the rise of skateboarding in Southern California. Surfers sought an alternative activity during flat waves, leading to skateboarding. Riders used empty swimming pools and urban landscapes to mimic surfing maneuvers. The first purpose-built skatepark, Surf City, opened in Tucson, Arizona, in 1965. Carlsbad Skatepark in California, opened in 1976, marked a significant milestone with its concrete bowls and snake runs. Skateparks proliferated in the 1970s and 1980s, evolving to include half-pipes, rails, and ledges. The late 1990s resurgence in skateboarding led to a new wave of modern, community-funded skateparks, now integral to urban landscapes.”
A Miracle At Sea
So I’m gazing out at the unusually tranquil sea and I’ll be damned if I’m not witnessing a miracle–someone walking upon the water. Well it sure looked like that.
But I did really know better. But this cute little kid near me didn’t. The child excitedly points towards the man and exclaims to his father… “Look, look. That man’s walking around on the oceans.” Dad squints and looks off in that direction and admits it sure does look like that!
Because viewing this guy from shore, looking into the shimmering sun and reflections and all, you can’t really see his partially obscured paddleboard. I’m looking through a long telephoto lens, so I can spy that the man is indeed just stepping back and forth on the paddleboard.
But the apparition the surfer is creating very much conjures up miracle time! And with the unusually colorful, vibrant and beautiful sunset colors dancing upon the clouds and the sea–it does look like a natural nature miracle to me.
The little kid was right!
Where Heaven Is?
When a little kid looked at this photo she said… “Wow that looks like where heaven is! In those clouds there. Is it?” I wasn’t sure what to say. I told her I didn’t really know but maybe heaven’s close by to there.
I told her it sure looks like a beautiful place where God would like to hang out. She nods and said.. “Yep, it sure looks like a beautiful heaven place.”
Then a slice of heaven it officially is. No argument from me!
Amazing Animal Abstract Artiste
Well, I have to give my dear dog, Nutty Nunzi, a big animal artiste credit for this intriguing fine art image you see before you. I discussed with my fine canine what I wished to achieve in an image I had conjured in my mind. He listened intently.
I told him I specifically needed him to create a wonderful abstract art composition to be splashed across the colorful sunset sky. He was intrigued and agreed.
Oh, and I also told Nunzi he had to time his creation at the perfect fraction of a second that someone comes running by. You know, to add an element of depth and scale to our image. He nodded. Oh, and also make sure you get that person on the left side of the frame. He nodded again.
Oh, and do it all within the next 90 seconds before the sun sinks into the sea. That got Nunz a bit exasperated with me. He shook his head. I was asking too much.
But he soon relented, gave a grin and said—”sure no problem”. He then looked all around this way and that, evaluating the scenario, checking out the sun, and then gazing down the shore.
He spied someone running down the beach. He waited, but not too long. Yet not too soon. Then he set his mighty paws to churning up his medium of choice–the sand.
And, oh, I’ll be damned if the beast didn’t set about timing it all, creating it all, melding all the complex elements with ideal technique, perfection and overall aplomb! And wha-lah! And even voila! An astonishing creation was thusly achieved!
As you can see in the image, Nunzi indeed produced an impeccably complex and intriguing composition that is alive with ebullient vitality and energy. Simply amazing. The canine is indeed an animal artiste extraordinaire! The Guggenheim will be hearing from us.

Additional Information
Dependable High Quality
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I have over 100 Five Star reviews! You can view and download them at my site here: https://GregoryMancuso.com/Reviews-Clients/ These reviews confirm I’m a highly reliable and consummate professional which is what’s needed, especially when shooting events, since they only happen once and can’t be re-shot.
Experience
I’ve been hired many times to shoot a wide range of events so I possess a wealth of experience and knowledge to anticipate and handle whatever challenges may arise. With my early background as a newspaper staff photographer, and later as an assignment magazine shooter for publications such as Time magazine, I have the ability to shoot with a candid photojournalistic style which is ideal for capturing an event’s singular spontaneous instants.
Social Media Influencer
I’m a paid influencer with an over 5.3 million viewing reach. Last year I was recruited by Meta (Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp) and they were kind enough to start paying me for my photos, videos, and story posts. As we all know, online social media is critical to getting your messaging, services and products out to the public. So it only makes sense to hire someone who has an already proven talent for creating high quality photos, videos and posts that garner attention online. Zuckerberg doesn’t send me bits of his billions every month for no reason.
Super Easy To Work With
Besides my artistic ability, perhaps just as important is my innate ability for basically getting along very well with a wide variety of people in a variety of situations. People can sometimes feel apprehensive during a shoot, and I’ve been told that I have a calm easygoing manner, and I combine that with patience and flexibility that puts folks at ease and often even makes the whole shooting process fun.
By utilizing sensitivity, respect and heaping helpings of humor, I’m able to relax and gain the trust of people, capturing their inner personality and essence within exceptional photos and videos. And it seems I have a knack for making people involved in my shoots to become willing co-conspirators of the creative process. This all results in everyone contributing to the pleasant task of making striking imagery.
What You Get
Besides my very reasonable price, remember you’re getting a professional photographer and videographer with many years experience who can anticipate and handle any situations and challenges that may arise. In addition to my creative shooting expertise, I want to let you know I don’t charge extra for any travel time, and give you full rights to the images and footage for later usage in advertising, marketing, social media, etc.
I also do extensive post-shoot work and I’m an expert at bringing out the most in an images and video. I go through everything we shoot, retouch and enhance them by correcting the color, expanding the full tonal range, fine tuning the brightness and contrast, and various other aspects to make the images and videos shine.
I also create a private gallery of all your images and video online. You can easily review everything as thumbnails or enlarged and full-screen, in slide show mode and individually. There is also the feature for rotating images, downloading single images and video, or the entire collection with one click. Everything is in professional high-resolution quality. And unlike some other shooters, I give everything we shoot–I don’t just give clients a sampling and charge extra for additional shots.

My Many 5 Star Reviews
I have over 100 five star reviews you can read on my “Reviews & Clients” page. You can download a pdf of the reviews there too. Below are some of them.
I have worked with Greg for more than five years now. He is extremely dependable, quick and a true master at his craft (photography). I have hired him to do a wide range of events ranging for industry events featuring various Senators and Hollywood celebrities to my son’s third birthday. In all cases, Greg has been the consummate professional. I highly recommend his work and would be more than happy to give anyone who is interested more information.
K. Forrest Beanum, Los Angeles World Affairs Council
Greg is such a fantastic photographer–I hired him 3 times already and he’s going to shoot my big anniversary party next month too! He’s so creative, thoughtful and dependable. Greg first shot my young daughter’s birthday party. His presence was so warm and inviting, the kids loved him and our photos were fun, unique, and captured our spirit perfectly. I also got Greg to shoot my company’s holiday party, and my manager and co-workers loved his images. You can’t go wrong with this fun and funny guy! Highly highly recommend!!
Craig Roberts
I had an outstanding experience with Gregory Mancuso as my birthday event photographer. His pre-event communication was excellent, and he captured not only the shots we discussed but went above and beyond. Despite challenging outdoor conditions (evening event with very limited lighting, plus heaters and fire pit), the photo quality exceeded expectations. He was punctual, professional, and delivered top-notch results — I highly recommend Gregory for any event photography needs. Five stars!
Mary-Joy C.
Greg was spot-on with high profile talent, right out of the box. John Daly was our talent for a Spot TV shoot and internet video, a ton of material to cover and only a day to do it in. Greg had to shoot around the film crew (PGA Tour Productions) and deliver material for the web and for print. He did it in a totally unobtrusive way and still managed to deliver great material that most shooters would have needed several days to capture and even then wouldn’t have picked up the subtleties Greg lensed. I definitely will use Greg again, particularly when there is talent like John Daly involved.
Fred Page, Costco Wholesale
Greg is an amazing photographer. I reached out to him on short notice, and he exceeded my expectations. He arrived on time and captured stunning pictures. The photographs he took were lively and captivating. Not only were the pictures of great quality, but Greg also delivered them promptly. I highly recommend Greg for any photography needs. Thank you, Greg, for your exceptional work!”

Gregory was great to work with on our PR event and we really appreciated his work and collaboration. Thanks!
Randolph P. Ryerson, Penske
Gregory was exactly what i needed. Responsive, easy to work with, made the process seamless and affordable. Now the good part…the photos! Gregory did a fantastic job capturing my son’s Bar Mitzvah. From family portraits to service photos and finally party pics Gregory didn’t miss a beat and the photos turned out great with so many beautiful ones to choose from.
Karen R.
I recommend Greg for anyone considering a photographer, no matter the assignment. I’ve used Greg’s services for more than 15 years, and for the majority of that time he was the only photographer I used. He is always on time, personable, readily understands the work to be done and completes it in a timely manner.
Ken Preston, Bank of America
Gregory made my daughter’s Quinceañera super special. He was a joy to work with. I recommend him. Gregory is professional, friendly, and reliable.

I’ve been using Gregory Mancuso as a photographer for The California Endowment for the past 9 years and couldn’t be happier with his work. I recommend him to any company seeking a highly competent, reliable, flexible and professional photographer.
Jeff Okey, The California Endowment
Gregory was fantastic. So easy to communicate with and very responsive. He accommodated late request so kindly and his presence was so warm and inviting at the party. The kids loved him and our photos were fun, unique, and captured our spirit perfectly. His turn around time was quick and his energy just wonderful. Highly recommend for kids party!
Maryam J.
We hired Gregory to do a variety of photos from exterior building shots to headshots of our top executives. I was impressed with his range, professionalism and ability to work so well with our busy executives. I would definitely hire him again and highly recommend him.
Winnie Jong, U.S. Bank
The photos were simply fantastic. Both creatively as high quality art, and Greg also captured all the special moments of our shower. Nothing was over looked. Greg also has such an easy-going personality that quickly relaxes people and dissolves the stress of an event.
George R
The non-profit I work for has hired Gregory Mancuso to photograph several events which required extraordinary flexibility due to demanding schedules and high profile attendees. Every step of the way Greg’s professional attitude, demeanor, and photographic skill enabled him to deliver exactly what the organization was looking for. The photographs have been used to promote the organization in online and printed materials. All feedback we have received about Greg following events has been positive.
Diane Baldwin, RAND Corporation
Gregory shot my twins’ first birthday and did a fantastic job! He got the best candid shots of the party and really captured the day perfectly to help cement such a special memory. He was extremely professional, very punctual and detail oriented. My babies felt so comfortable and looked so natural in all the photos, which is nearly impossible with twin 1 year olds! Can’t wait to hire again for our next event or family portraits.
Collyn K.
I booked Gregory same day for my friends 40th Birthday. Hiring a photographer is usually something I would only do for a wedding or family Christmas card photos, but with all the work that went into planning, decorating, and dressing up for her Studio 54 themed party, a group of us decided to split it as a birthday present so we could just enjoy the night while he captured it with his camera. He got all the right shots, adjusted for lighting, detailed the decor etc. He was a great communicator and reasonably priced (many others could charge more especially with his experience). You won’t regret hiring him.
Kristin A.
He did a great job for my moms 70th birthday!!! It was super last minute and he was very accommodating!
Alexa L.
“We hired Greg for photography and graphics composition services on a kitschy doggie card traditionally sent to company associates for the holidays. Over a dozen employee’s dogs were costumed in festive Hawaiian attire for individual photography on a tight Saturday schedule at our offices – requiring much patience and flexibility from our photographer – but Greg was clearly up to the task. The dogs all loved him and the shoot had such great results that perhaps our biggest challenge was selecting which images to actually use for our marketing piece. Great job, Greg!”
Tammie Richards
They say a picture is worth a thousand words…so my write-up of Greg’s work won’t do his work justice. Simply put, when I have an important client project on-line, I want Greg behind the camera, working with me to deliver a top-notch project.”
