GRITTANI CREATIVE

Mike Grittani

Hi—my name is Mike and I'm an arts photographer and filmmaker based in Chicago and San Francisco. Grittani Creative LTD. was born out of the (inaccurate) idea that classical music is an outdated and stale art form. Having a background in cello performance, I aim to bring the genre into a modern light and to represent its artists in a fresh way through my photography and film work.

Aside from my performance-based work, I enjoy exploring projects like architectural and landscape photography. I'm also on a mission to brew the perfect cup of pour-over coffee.
