“John Gram is an artist, collaborator and delivers swiftly on his word. From the moment I met John I recall him making a genuine effort to make me feel comfortable and FABULOUS!
Drag artists require a lot of content and a partnership between John and I formed when I knew I could step on to a set and John would not only see me for exactly who I was but position my images to reflect the energy I wanted to convey without forcing me too far out of my comfort zone.
Practically speaking I surround myself with people who I want to work and share ideas with! My heart was so grateful every time John travels to our home to set up shop and not only photograph me but makes every effort to help others in my drag community look and feel their absolute best!
That level of kindness makes John not only my “go to guy” but a genuine friend.
Book John! Just NOT when I need him.”

“I loved my photoshoot at John Gram Photo Studios. I needed some new promo shots, so I booked him for a glam shoot wearing an outfit from my recent Mix Queen tour. There was a fast turn around getting my fully edited and high res photos. I love them! Thanks, John!”

“Drag photography is not for the faint of heart! It requires a great deal of patience and even more artistic investment than you could imagine! John Gram so effortlessly creates works of art that quite literally supersede any expectation you could possibly have for a photographer. We’ve worked together since 2022, and I could not see myself working with anyone else! John has supported me in elevating my social media presence and the content speaks for itself! His attention to detail is remarkable! The time and energy he invests into his clientele is so special. I highly recommend JGP, see the magic for yourself!”
— Crystal Starz, Drag Performer
“I recently had the pleasure of using John Gram photography for a photo shoot at my art gallery. The images were being used for an ad in an art publication, Elevated Magazine. The photos came out beautiful and the ad was a great success!! I would highly recommend John for any of your photography needs. He was professional and the work was completed in a timely manner.”
— Walker Manzke, Director at One Martine Gallery
“After catching a glimpse at the stunning headshots John Gram produces, it was with no doubt in my mind that I needed one of myself! You can genuinely tell when someone loves what they do! Posing for a headshot isn’t easy, because it’s important that you feel confident in doing so! John guided me through the entire process, and continuously reminded me of my value! It’s the little details that make a world of a difference! My headshots turned out perfect, and I use them for everything now! It goes without saying, but I will undoubtedly be back for more! Thank you, John!”

We use him every year for our Christmas cards, and we are never disappointed - always impressed and happy with the outcome. We love that John will travel to your home, or help scout locations for the perfect setting. He gets straight to work and is so great with making sure you have the best lighting. His editing skills are next level, and he is so great about promptly turning around photos. We cannot say enough amazing things about John. We highly recommend his services!”

“I came to John for a few new headshots at his studio, and I was blown away by the whole experience! I’ve never felt so relaxed and comfortable being in front of anyone else’s camera. I have since booked John over a handful of times, and he has not only photographed me for my DJ mixtapes, but he also does all the graphic designs for the covers as well. John truly is one of a kind and you will absolutely adore the results of working with him!”
