After high school, I joined the Marine Corps as a combat correspondent. The 12 years I spent in the Corps set me on a course that I never imagined possible. I have been fortunate to meet many people from all walks of life...from people in my community to celebrities to high-profile government officials while at the Executive Office of the President and the U.S. House of Representatives.

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.

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.
