"I am an artist. I see things through an artist's eye. When creating images I have my own look - edgy, beautiful, a little gutsy and sometimes a little grungy. My look is unique with a sense of mystery and drama."

I'm Colleen D. Gjefle, the owner of GJFOTO Photography in Philadelphia PA. I'm an artistic photographer and while I do color imagery, my strength is in high-contrast black-&-white photography. I love the film noir look, which translates very nicely to contemporary portraits. I also love creating modern urban portraits that have beauty combined with the grunge of street photography.

I can take your photos in my studio, outdoors, in your workplace, home or another location. There's so many fabulous places for photos around Philadelphia and the surrounding counties, including south New Jersey and northern Delaware. I create portraits for individuals and families, as well as engagement or anniversary portraits, beauty or boudoir photographs, headshots for business or corporate use, model and actor headshots and comp card shots, event photos, as well as the totally fun film noir portraits. In addition to people photography, I also do small product photography, especially jewelry photography, architectural and fine art photography.
