Geo has been linked with photography for over 10 years: “It all started back in 2011 when I was on a competitive martial arts team. One of my teammates' mom happened to be a photojournalist working for the Kansas City Newspaper! She used to photograph all of the teams in competitions and I was very intrigued by it. She recommended that I pick up and try it out. My wife gifted me a camera and the rest was history.”

Geo says that nowadays there are many creators that are trying to replicate one another’s style: “You have to develop such a unique style to stand out from others. It is very difficult to do so just because there is so much talent out there!”
As for future endeavors, Geo says: “I have yet to scratch the surface with what I want to accomplish. As an artist, we all have goals that we want to achieve. Since my photography style is so different, I’d like to push the boundaries of today's media and be able to have photography like mine in big-time magazines/websites.”
Geo's advice for young creators would be to “shoot, shoot, and shoot! Do research, find a photographer that inspires you! Ask questions, lots of them! In today's day and age, there is plenty of information that I wish I had when I first started! If you’re starting out, photograph a friend or a family member and come up with ideas to improve after every shoot.”

I like how creative it is, but i feel some of the faces are photoshopped, especially the noses. They're all the same shape and have the same gleam to it

All of them are; none of them naturally look that way-- you can see it in the photo of the photographer that all the models look almost unnaturally perfect in the finished product. They are all enhanced and stylized, that's the point.

There is not a single one of these that hasn't been photoshopped. This is what Photoshop is for. Making photos into art.
