My name is Gints Ivuskans. I am freelance photographer, based in Riga, Latvia.
In my career I've had thousands of photoshoots, including portraits, events, sports, weddings etc.
Through the years of working in the photo agency and afterwards - in freelance, I've come to the idea that a great photography has to have something more than just a "prettiness".
It also has to have the feelings. If you would like to have photographies where emotions are given, it's rightful place - You are welcome to contact me.
Currently - Stringer photographer for AFP (Agence France Presse) in Latvia.
Photos published on - The New York Times, CNN, BBC, The Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, The Telegraph, The Guardian, Politico, UEFA and many more.
