Busy time

posted on 01 August 10

July and August have been a busy time both acting and taking photographs. It was fantastic to see my little girl at her graduation and to have the opportunity to take my son with me to one of my performances with Shontal. Now he's seen me make a fool of myself he has expressed an interest in having a go on stage. Let's hope he has as much fun as me.

I spent an afternoon taking pictures for the Mike Fry Foundation (www.mikefryfoundation.org.uk). I can not include any of these photos as they involve mostly children but I am proud to be involved having met and worked with Mike even if it was just for a short time.

Otherwise Hamlet rehearsals progress and the first night approaches at a frightening rate and Northumberland continues to provide me with some challenging and rewarding views.

About Gary

I have been taking photographs for a number of years and have provided images for individuals and families as well as for business use. I have worked in promotional photography in the theatre and taken portraits and headshots for actors. As well as covering festivals and competitions I am happy to accompany dog owners on walks in Northumberland to get a picture of their pet in a natural setting and have been known to follow a cat around a garden to catch it in the right light.

In addition to taking photographs I spend some of my time acting. In the past I have managed bands and community arts projects and taught classes in IT, Arts Management and acting.  I have worked with men in prison covering subjects such as relationship management and drug awareness. I learned a great deal from all of these experiences and discovered that teaching is as much about listening as it is passing on information. The photography courses I run are for beginners who want to get started with digital cameras and programs and if you would like to have a chat then please give me a ring.

I hope you like the pictures I have featured on the site. Please feel free to drop me a line through the get in touch link above it's always nice to hear from people.
