About Sylvia Bissonnette
 It was an honor for me to be invited to participate in Jim Grahl’s vision. When I first met Jim, in 1985 I have recently moved from Manhattan. Newport Beach was quite a contrast, a boating and surfing oasis after a bustling and busy area full of concrete and large buildings.
Jim entrusted me with some of his most precious jewelry pieces to photograph. I still remember that my favorite shot was a multi-thousand dollar letter opener that I laid on an ornamental cabbage. Jim’s jewelry was wonderful to photograph because it allowed me to express my creativity while capturing images of these incredibly beautiful jeweled sculptures. I’m proud to say that It has been more than 25 years since I started photographing for Jim. His jewelry allows me to concentrate on color, texture and light direction. I feel lucky and fortunate that doing this work has help me create some of my favorite images.
