THOMAS GIROIR PHOTOGRAPHY

Your Bio

I have worked as a photographer from 1983 until the present. After working at the Hartford Courant as a freelancer in 1983, I worked as an assistant to Jack McConnell, a commercial photographer in Wethersfield, CT. In 1985 I ventured into the Hartford market as a freelance photographer.

I enjoy a mix of clients from both the corporate world and the dance and arts world, including The Bushnell, Cigna Corporation, Trinity College, Hartford Life, St. Joseph’s College, Nutmeg Ballet, New Haven Ballet, Shipman & Goodwin, Pepe & Hazard as well as editorial work with publications such as Internet Week and Information Week.

I service a large number of corporate clients here in the New England area, from law firms, insurance companies and financial institutions to large non-profits like The Bushnell and Ct. Opera as well as smaller business. Whether it is an annual report or an in house newsletter, I can come to your location and capture the image which says what you want about your situation. Being able to travel to your location but still maintain a high level of lighting and composition saves time for your employees and your design team.

Having danced for nine years professionally with the Hartford Ballet and receiving a BFA in dance from Southern Methodist University gives me a unique perspective in my dance photography. I like to try to catch the ultimate moment in a dance and hopefully convey the feeling of motion in a two dimensional photograph. I was honored to be asked to photograph Mikhail Baryshnikov in his one man show in 2004 and was thrilled when he was happy with the results. I currently live in Columbia Ct with my wife Jeanne who was my main partner in the Hartford Ballet.
