GB: I have many unusual inventions that I have made pertaining to light—I'm obsessed with light and love gadgets that will enable me to perform my job more efficiently which one will find in my kit. I also travel with an oxygen system called Intraceuticals to every photo shoot. I provide an Intraceuticals oxygen skin treatment to every client which transforms the skin instantly providing a perfect canvas for makeup. All my clients are in love with this treatment. In fact, the photographer and clients usually line up after the shoot because they're amazed at the results and want the same as well.
