Gilpin stands as a distinctive artist whose creations seamlessly in nude photography and paintings create unparalleled originals works. Despite contending with dyslexia, he often weaves short poems that accompany the majority of his artworks. His style, characterised by its unpolished, emotional, and experimental nature, eloquently captures the transformative journey of creation. With profound connections to his subjects, Gilpin employs a trademark touch, infusing his work with nuanced lighting, shadows, colour, and soulful elements.

Driven by creative passion, Gilpin transcends the realm of the traditional glamour photographer, embracing a strong artistic approach. Preferring to craft a limited number of works, he ardently preserves their originality, placing a high value on uniqueness over mass production. This commitment extends to his deliberate avoidance of social media, a choice made to safeguard the integrity of his artistic vision.

During his tenure at art school, Gilpin demonstrated excellence in both photography and figure drawing (croquis). It was within the realm of figure drawing studies that he honed his capacity to grasp the intricacies of the human form. Guided by an attentive art teacher from Latvia, he cultivated a robust foundation in understanding the nuances of the human body, a foundation that profoundly influenced and elevated his work in capturing the beauty of the nude form through photography and his paintings.
