1. Lawyer by profession - dropped it to setup a web-design firm called ICON (www.icon.com.mt)

2. Live on a warm tiny island in the Med called MALTA (www.visitmalta.com) and miss the snow so much.

3. Crazy about photography. Practice martial arts to keep me sane. Swim 3KM once a week and run for 2KM.

4. Play guitar and love travelling. Would have liked to paint for a living but I turned out to be rather bad at that.

5. Very passionate about Italian food and good books. Recently bought a 400 year old house in Valletta and this became my 365 project.... I'm at it everyday ;)

Have now become officially addicted to FLICKR.

SHORT (photographic) PROFILE :

Gege Gatt has many callings but only one true vocation: photography. His photography oozes decades of experience behind the lens, but the way he captures an instance and sees stories in the everyday around us comes from his ever youthful instinct and inquisitive eye. Gege is a Getty Images contributor, a leader of Malta’s FLICKRISTI group and a member of the Malta Institute of Professional Photography.

Gege has exhibited in Nanjing (China), Lavandou (France) as well as several local exhibitions across Malta and Gozo. He has co-authored and contributed to a 2009 book on Seascapes and was commissioned to shoot an album cover for Transtechnica Records (Santiago, Chile). He has several e-books amongst which an eclectic collection of images from Australia and New Zealand (http://www.blurb.com/books/1750749)

Online, his photos have been published by the BBC, Saatchi & Saatchi, Bang & Olufsen, Canon, University of Toronto Magazine, International Music Network and several other printed and online galleries and publications.

"I always loved pictures but the fist time I saw Gege’s photos on FB (quite a long time ago now) was the day I was so moved I fell in love with photography… He is a truly inspirational figure and I’ve been hooked up on his posts all this time because they have so much energy, creativity and passion you can never get enough… I owe this guy so much without him knowing it… thanks Gege =)"

"Gege's photostream is one that I look forward to weekly because I know I'm going to either be surprised, amazed, and/or usually inspired. His "eye" for photography is so unique, it inspires me to want to keep looking at simple, everyday objects differently, artistically. I especially like the contemplative expression on his portrait subjects, it makes you wonder what they're thinking. Great stuff Gege, keep it up!"

"Gege - a friend and a client, is one of the few i know that has a different approach to why we are all here... his perception of photography crosses the borders of most of us, me included, and is a very good example of spontaneous artistry. Keep it up Geg - you deserve more than a star for your work!!!
