Grace is always my first call for everything from step-and-repeats, to fundraiser candids, to intimately capturing a rehearsal process. She has an excellent eye and delivers a wide array of beautifully composed, dynamic shots. I can trust her to take direction and also bring her own tasteful artistry every time we work together. Grace always makes us look great and is an absolute pleasure to work with!

Grace has the unicorn combination of ambitious creative vision and impeccable work ethic that makes her one of the foremost film artists working within the theatrical medium.

Grace's photography is vivid and impactful. Every photo truly brings to life each event she is covering. I am never disappointed and just when I think I've seen it all, she surprises me with even better phoros.

Unconventional greatness...NPAFE finds compelling more than just the powerful creativity so self-evident in Copeland's video and photographic works. She adds in a tireless generosity rarely found...That commitment to help others counts a lot for us. And it will count a lot for any and all who entrust Copeland to capture their artistry.
Quentin Earl Darrington,
Performer/Producer
Creative, inspired, evocative, thoughtful, and absolutely beautiful; this is Grace Copeland's photography. Grace captures fun, freedom, and truth with each shot, allowing the viewer to imagine and even experience their own.
Rachel Gifford,
Producer
She brings a sense of security, curiosity, and the most positive "We get to create today!" attitude I've ever encountered. I've never doubted her sense of understanding a vision, she's effective and efficient, and she has a keen eye for capturing each artist's unique contribution to a piece - something that can't be taught and is a reflection of her overall heart about what she does.

We collaborated on a video and she was an absolute dream to work with. She operated from a place of kindness and humility and is extremely easy to get along with and work alongside. Her art is full of heart and she will bring light to any project you work on with her. I'd collaborate with her again in a heartbeat.

Grace's eye for intricate thematic flourishings is astounding. She is swift, malleable, and proficient in her craft.
Jenn Petersen,
International Justice Mission
I worked alongside Grace as a producer...She cares deeply not only about the art, but also about the artist. Her eye for beauty is enhanced by her attention to detail, and she is able to bring vision to reality in graciously inspiring ways. Grace isn't merely a producer; she is a creator and communicator with a story to tell.

Grace is incredibly professional and very talented - she is one of my go-to photographers for events in NYC.
"Mr. Dunn's show A SEASONAL PLAYLIST was expertly produced by Grace Copeland, who helped Ryan to create a concert that was, both technically and artistically, without flaw."
