My Name is Joshua Peter Grafstein but you can call me JASH (because I'm from Chicaaago).
I’m a photographer specializing in creating Animated GIFs.... or is it Jiff?
My approach to creating content has always been to treat everything as if I’m performing a magic trick. Through the use of various filmmaking techniques, the latest technologies, and my active imagination, I strive to create unique and playful content that tells a story and captivates the audience.
