Shutter

Gavin Albright, known by his nickname Shutter, is a documentary filmmaker and photojournalist originally hailing from North Mandarin Island in the Orange Archipelago. He is a PC made by JG-says-things-and-stuff.

Appearance

Shutter is a lanky man about 1.8 meters tall with tan skin and brown shaggy hair. Frequently, he dresses in light clothing such as a T-shirt, buttondown and shorts and wears a flat cap. He is often seen with a Rotom-colored gimbal stabilizer (actually a black one inhabited by a rotom ) on hand and carries a large backpack that turns out to be much heavier than it looks. He frequently walks with earphones stuck to his ears; his mp3 player plays bad music from a forgotten era. He dons a plaid green hoodie in cold weather.

Personality

Shutter is polite around strangers. Inquisitive and curious, he loves seeing what lies behind the veil, knowing full well that his inquisitive nature can (and frequently does) lead to a serious risk of injury. He loves to travel to breathtakingly beautiful places and loves capturing photos and video. He is a natural critic and shows a sarcastic side when faced with media that isn't up to his standard. He often shares snarky banter with friends, usually his rotom Gimbal.

Job History

Shutter currently works for the Geographic Society and was assigned to work on the episode of one of its most anticipated documentary series The Pokemon Trainer. He had previously worked on two other documentaries with the Geographic Society:

• Islands Under Siege, a miniseries on the calamities that struck the Orange Islands. He worked as an assistant editor to the episode focusing on the Delta Pokemon invasion.

• A nature documentary, The Life of Bug Pokemon, where he provided some of the most spectacular shots in the series, including the Beedrill swarm. He considers this his big break (it paid off his college loans with a lot to spare) despite being one of the most dangerous of his assignments

Prior, he largely took odd photography, photojournalism, and videography jobs, most memorably as the cameraman for a YouTube channel focused on dares that turned out to be a Team Rocket front, though he only found out shortly after quitting because of their bad dental plan.

Trivia

• He understands monese to a passable degree, courtesy of a class he took in college.

• He studied under a collegiate photography and cinematography program developed by Todd Snapp.

• He acquired his first pokemon, Gimbal, by accident; she came with a stabilizer he bought on the cheap on Craigslist.

• He frequently recalls rather unpleasant events that happened in the Orange Archipelago; he has especially vivid and unpleasant memories of the near-apocalyptic climate incident of the summer of 1999.

• He has had a longstanding desire to take a photographic tour of Kalos and was upset when his bosses passed him over.

• He is not a fan of Brad Van Darn.

• He only acquired trainer skills after being assigned to nature documentary work.

• The aforementioned Beedrill swarm shot was accomplished as a result of a terrible incident that, in his words, could've easily gotten him killed.
