The Magnificent Marine Dogs

The Magnificent Marine Dogs

A Remarkable Tale How They Saved Hundreds Of Lives
By Los Angeles Videographer Gregory Mancuso

The Magnificent Marine Dogs, my mini-doc, tells the true tale of the valiant Marine service dogs who saved hundreds of soldiers lives during the battles to liberate Guam in World War 2. These brave and gallant canines tirelessly served as sentries, scouts and messengers. They fearlessly explored caves, detected mines, & dangerous boobytraps–all to protect the soldiers they loved.

Many men survived and made it back home because of the sacrifice of these noble canines. Over 25 brave dogs gave their very lives to protect their marines in Guam and elsewhere in the Pacific theater. And gallant service animals continue to save the lives of their humans to this very day.

What I Do & Who I Am

I’m an award-winning portrait and event photographer and videographer with over 20 years experience. And I’ve been hired by the finest global brands and publications in the world, as well as many wonderful families and individuals.

For corporate and small business clients, I create captivating portraits and shoot events such as conferences, product & service launches, company parties, branding & pop-up events, and trade shows. I also shoot company facilities and on-site working images.

For my personal clientele, I shoot portraits and all kinds of events like adult and kids birthday parties, bridal & baby showers, anniversaries & reunions, baptism & bar/bat mitzvah, proms, quinceañeras, and school events.

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.
