Chambliss Giobbi is first a composer of music, wherein his initial concepts of time and layered composition became the vital ingredient of his signature style. I once e-mailed him, inquiring about being apart of a project and I received an immediate and delicate response:
"...A complete series may take over a year to make, so I
only really work with people I know intimately or have wanted to work with
for years. This is a testament to the level of commitment I need to have
toward an individual before shooting..."

As a result, Giobbi's work is intensely personal as he becomes intertwined psychologically... layering time like musical notes and exposing the individual through his eyes....
Torso of Gina Depalma
"One is left with the notion of witnessing an intense, virtually operatic compression of moments, catharsis and myth: an intimate viewing of entropy."
