Love's Passion for photography began on a camping trip when he was a teen. Taking photographs became a way to share his adventures and love of nature with friends and family. Gary was an amateur photographer for 15 years. In 2005 he sold his landscape design company and became a full-time professional photographer. “Having a landscape design company has given me an edge as a photographer. At a young age I was able to create and layout a property design that achieved both balance and harmony, something that I also strive for in the composition of my photography.”

Gary breaks the traditional photography rules as he has no formal training, but feels it's to his benefit. “I gained what knowledge I could from books but quickly realized I learned more by keeping a log of each photo taken, then reviewing the logs while looking at each slide. In scenic photography each person needs to see and experience nature’s ever-changing beauty in their own way. I genuinely respect the sacred trust that nature photographers have with their subject matter, to portray no more than what was actually before their lens at the time of the shot. Nothing more-nothing less.”

Love spends months on the back-roads of America armed with just his cameras and camping gear. “I usually remain at a location for a great deal of time before picking up my camera, exploring and getting a sense of my surroundings.” In early 2007 Gary embarked on a full time exploration of first, the U.S., then the world, in an attempt to capture the once in a lifetime moments that have become an essential element to the images he is most noted for in the art world.
