Hi! My name is Victor Grigas. I'm a video producer, photographer and former employee of the Wikimedia Foundation. I have been a contributor to Wikipedia since 2005. I have a formal education in film, audio and video and am interested in all things open source and public domain. The best way to reach me is by email at victorgrigas (at) gmail (dot) com
Photo CC by-SA 2.0 by Sage Ross
My photos have been seen in Vice, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Forbes, Macworld, The New Republic, Science, Fast Company, Psychology Today, CBS, the New York Review of Books, Atlas Obscura, WTTW / Chicago Tonight, PBS NewsHour, Piauí, Wikimedia and many others.
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 in 2017, I started a fundraiser to digitize his entire photo archive. One thing I learned from him was a joy in capturing portraits. 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 good portrait that will give them a positive sense about who they are.
Sometimes I can do trades for work gift me something on B&H or send me money via Paypal.
