My story
About Gary
Welcome to my website
Hi, I’m Gary, a professional photographer based in Honiton, East Devon. It still seems strange saying that, as I spent 29 years in the corporate world of the Met Office (so I also know a lot about the weather!) until I finally left in 2019 to follow a passion for photography.
Walking the South West Coast Path - not once but twice!
I fell in love with the coast and moorland of Devon when walking the South West Coast Path in 2007-2009, but was so disappointed that my photos didn’t do justice to the amazing scenery that I had to walk all 630 miles a second time, with the sole intention of teaching myself to take a good photo!
More than just landscapes
My first passion was for landscapes, and these days I can still often be found at sunrise and sunset around the beauty spots of Devon, and I licence my landscape photos of Devon to businesses, however, in recent years I have expended into photography training and providing professional photographic services to (primarily) the leisure and tourism sector.
As well as landscapes, my specialisms are photography training (both for individuals and businesses) and commercial photography (primarily property, location, drone shoots as well as people and events for businesses. I’ve also written and illustrated several books (with my first coffee table book of Devon on the way) and also give talks for camera clubs and similar groups.
When I'm not behind the camera...
When I’m not behind the camera, I still try and get out walking on the coast or moors; enjoy sitting in front of a roaring log fire with a pint of cider or a good book, or running around after the real boss in my house, my very old (19 or 90 in human years!) moggy, called Fizzy.
Looking for a Photographer?
My years serving important international Met Office corporate clients (including household names such as Virgin Atlantic and British Airways), as well as project managing major commercial projects, has come in handy in ensuring that as well as being the creative force behind the camera, I also have the skills to make sure my clients go away happy with both the quality of the images, and the overall service that I provide.
So, if you’re in Devon or the wider South West area, and looking for a photographer, why not get in touch?
