Hi, I’m Don Giannatti, a professional creative with a career spanning more than five decades in the fields of photography, arts mentorship, and writing.

My sojourn has taken me from the vibrant and bustling cities of Los Angeles and New York to Phoenix and the expansive desert and majestic mountains of the southwest.

I'm proud to have built the third-largest ad agency in Arizona in the 90s and 2000s, where we designed award-winning campaigns for clients all around the globe.

Over the years, I've done many things; from helping companies go public, photographing famous personalities, to mentoring hundreds of photographers looking to up their game.

My photographic specializations included fashion, editorial, and advertising photography.

Now, I dedicate much of my time to teaching other photographers how to navigate the challenging world of professional photography.

I firmly believe everyone can have a fulfilling and sustainable creative life. That belief is grounded in hard work, perseverance, and strong personal ethics, which I consider the cornerstone of my success.

I've authored six books on photography and the business of photography, and I'm excited to be currently working on my seventh.

Beyond my professional life, I enjoy going on long motorcycle road trips for my photography projects, playing jazz drums, and composing music. Creativity, in all its forms, is what truly drives me.

At the moment, I'm spearheading "The Creative Class," a unique workshop for photographers and visual artists. It's designed to help creatives build sustainable businesses within the visual communications sector.

My goal? To help more creatives make their dreams a reality through consistent growth and deliberate action.

Photographers: It’s Time for a Great American Motorcycle Tour

In my world, it’s always a good time for a long road trip. It’s a cleansing of the mind, an opening to the spirit of creativity, and a way to get deep inside my own head. Important and, occasionally, dangerous. As we enter the middle of summer, I am getting a little itchy to hit […]
