Meet the Team

Brian Swartzwelder started Grey Street Studios in 2001. His passion for photography began in college, mastering fundamentals and technique on black and white film. Brian completed his BA of Fine Arts with a concentration in photography from Florida Atlantic University in 1997.

He continues to grow and expand his business by staying on top of the latest in photographic technology developments. Brian has also volunteered his time in a number of photography and builder associations including:

• Past President, Sales and Marketing Council of the Tampa Bay Builders Association (TBBA)
• Past President, Sales and Marketing Council of the Florida Homebuilders Association (FHBA)
• Past Associate Delegate, National Association of Homebuilders (NAHB)

Gavin’s first shoot with Grey Street Studios was back in 2013, helping his father at the age of 10!

He’s now officially part of the team and is honing his skills through a combination of formal education and practical experience. He completes all of our video editing in house and he is enrolled in photography courses that focus on essential techniques such as composition, lighting, and the unique challenges of photographing various architectural styles.

Gavin is currently studying for his professional drone certification.

Alicia Pesco joined the Grey Street team in 2016 as one of our editors and main event photographer. Her passion in photography started with a 35mm Minolta Camera that was passed down from her father in 2005. She continued to gain knowledge in photography through high school, and completed her BFA in Digital Photography from the Art Institute of Tampa in 2014.

Her love for events and wedding photography make her an excellent photographer for the building industry events, and has inspired her to embark on a wedding and an event photography business.
