Hi! My name is Victor Grigas. I'm a photographer and video producer. My CC-licensed photos have been seen in Vice, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Forbes, Macworld, The New Republic, Science, Fast Company, Psychology Today, CBS, Spiegel, the New York Review of Books, Atlas Obscura, WTTW / Chicago Tonight, PBS NewsHour, Piauí, Wikimedia and many others.
Me, photo CC by-SA 2.0 by Sage Ross
I have a formal education in film, audio and video and I've worked with all kinds of budgets for my video productions. If you have a project in mind feel free to reach out to me to ask any questions: victorgrigas (at) gmail (dot) com
I took this photo in the 'War Room' of the Wikimedia Foundation during the 2012 blackout of Wikipedia in protest of proposed SOPA legislation.
My father was also a photographer -- I guess the acorn didn't fall far from the oak. When he passed away I started a fundraiser to digitize his entire photo archive. One thing I learned from him was a joy in capturing people on camera. A lot of people hate how they look, and if you can make them comfortable, then you can get them in a good look and you can get a portrait that will give them a positive sense of who they are.
This is the oculus in the Pantheon in Rome. I wanted to show the whole room.
I'm originally from Chicago, and the sign on the theatre is a symbol of the river that forks through the city.
This is a monument to the Haymarket affair.
You can watch a few videos I've produced below:
When I was in college in 2008, I made a short film about technology and isolation that you can watch below. I'm hoping to make it into a feature film. If you like it, you can donate to that effort.
One of my enthusiasms is playing video synthesizers. As you can see in the video below, the output is colorful and reactive to audio. Once you set up the patch you like, they are wild to play -- you sort of need to bracket where the image can and cannot go and just hold on and see what happens.
Thanks for reading!
