A LOT TO SAY PODCAST

Ep 15: HYPER-COLOUR with GG McG

Episode Summary

Joining for a chin-wag is chit-chat is Giulia Giannini McGauran (or GG McG) whose vibrant visual art, creative direction and photography can barely be missed, with an expressive, quirky and boisterous style all at once. Having photographed many recognisable and emerging musicians and artists alike, Giulia talks about her journey through art school, commercial projects, inviting a highly collaborative process, and using her Nonna as a recurring test subject.

Episode Notes

Giulia Giannini McGauran, or GG McG, is a creative director, artistic director, photographer and/ creative collaborator. Regularly photographing musical acts and artists in her highly distinctive style, Giulia relishes the collaborative nature of any project (and there are many)

After returning to study with a niche focussed advertising degree, Giulia emerged with a sharper focus  to her creative focus and a greater understanding of how her work could complement musicians in particular. She even started to dabble in music herself... 

A few points in the chit-chat:

  1. We dove straight into Schitt’s Creek
  2. A somewhat regular creative process
  3. Nurturing a space for true collaboration
  4. A positive energy where there is a will to create
  5. The things Giulia ropes her Nonna into
  6. Creative expression in art school
  7. An appreciation for health services (and a phobia of needles)
  8. Things that make you go ‘Oooh!’
  9. A return to study for a very specific focus
  10. Authenticity in branding
  11. Just casually creating a musical project that goes incredibly well…
  12. Dabbling in some not-so-small commercial projects too…
