Photographer Spotlight Garry Gay

www.photogarry.com I am a studio still life photographer based out of Santa Rosa, California. I graduated from Brooks Institute School of Photography in 1973, with a Bachelor of Photographic Arts degree. I have been a commercial photographer for many years and moved into fine art photography because I wanted to do more personal work and explore my artistic vision. My love for still life photography has led me on a great life adventure.

I have sort of a creative romantic artistic view of the world. My work is often colorful and very graphic. I like to add a moody touch to my images. Sometimes my work has a nostalgic feel. I love to photograph old worn out things. I am always on the hunt for rusty, vintage, worn objects I can use in my shots. My studio is full of antiques and collectible props I have come across in my prop hunting adventures.

I have large collections of things like sea shells, vases, old keys, marbles, vintage toys, dice, maps, butterflies and much more. My warehouse is overflowing with visual treasures. I spend most of my days working on table top still life arranging and rearranging the many wonderful objects I have found. I also love to play with lighting and spend a lot of time moving lights around trying to get the right look or feel for my images.

For me it’s much more than a job or pastime, it’s a calling, a need to fulfill a vision or complete an idea that’s in my head. I love shooting still life and it never gets tiring to me. It gives me a great feeling of accomplishment. There’s always a quest to realize the next idea that comes to mind.
