Gary - Photographer

Photographer - @g_d_shots

 

A couple of years ago I decided I would take up photography so I bought you first camera.... a Fujifilm HS30 bridge camera. After using it for a while, I sort of outgrew it and invested in my first DSLR, a Nikon D3400. I started out like many people do….taking photos of flowers, sunsets, landscapes etc. What I really wanted to do was take photos of people, but I never really had the confidence to work with someone 1 on 1.

 

When I saw the Cardiff Shooters advertising a portrait shoot with models at Insole Court I thought “why not?” so I went along to see what it was all about but more so to challenge myself and get out of my comfort zone. I believe I am now finding my niche. I am now a lot more confident shooting photos of people and I’m getting so much out of it. I also really love low light and astro. What I enjoy most about photography is that I learn something new each time I pick up my camera and it stretches my capabilities and allows me to be creative. I take a lot of inspiration from the photographers I have met in the last couple of years and I have met some amazing people whilst doing something I love. Photography makes me and other people happy. What more could you want?
