camera Nikon D750

Gary has twenty years experience in a variety of photography niches. This is due to his time as a photographer and multi media specialist for the US Navy. He photographed ceremonies overseas, investigations with NCIS, ran three government studios in Florida, and left the Navy as a photo and publication editor for a military engineering firm in Washington DC. Out of government service, he maintained a wedding photography business in Jacksonville, Florida shooting over a hundred weddings, portraits, and family events part time from the US Navy. Gary no longer shoots weddings, as he found his passion and a continued love of service by supporting business small and commercial for their photography and content needs in today’s digital landscape. You will notice he has a love affair with food, thus the amount of food and product photography you see in his gallery. He understands the need for good content and imagery to tell your brands story, from products, services, to you the creator and owner. Gary is sought out by his photographer peers as a coach for their artificial and studio lighting needs in both still life images and portraiture. Gary’s purpose isn’t really just to wield a camera and take a cool picture, it’s to help you sell the magic of your brand’s story.

camera Canon EOS R6, Canon EOS 6D

I took up photography when I was studying journalism in college as I found it was a much more expressive way to tell a story, connect with people, and be a witness to important moments in people’s lives. I have more than two decades of experience working with international news agencies and my photographs have been published in many leading world newspapers. I have also extensive experience in working with corporate events, sports, and feature photographs of nature, including drone photography. From world-newsworthy events to events that are important to you and your loved ones, I have covered them all with the same degree of passion and attention to detail.

How did you get started with photography

I was on my honeymoon and I remember taking some photos of dilapidated boats against the sunset. I forgot about the images until I came home. My wife had the film roles developed and commented on how good the images looked. 2 years later I enrolled in a professional program for "fun", and since then I have won exhibit contests, been published and been paid for my work.

What do you love about your job?

There are two things I love about my work. First, I get paid for capturing beauty in the ordinary. And second, my work has been seen by thousands of people.

What are some of your favorite places in Washington to take photographs?

I love photographing at Meadowlark Gardens in Vienna. The place is full of beautiful backdrops. I also like photographing against rustic backgrounds like old farms or industrial buildings. The contrast makes the subjects pop.
