Gerry began shooting in the mid ’90’s, getting serious when he joined APAC (Abbotsford Photo Arts Club) in 2005. The club scene helped him understand the craft of photography, but he found adherence to the compositional rules frustrating and the technical emphasis restrictive. On switching to digital, he began experimenting and developing an impressionistic style.

Although he continues to shoot traditional street and landscape scenes, or anything that catches his eye, the surrender of control found with motion is ever-enticing. He’s drawn to the values of light, colour and motion, real or implied, through in-camera techniques. He also enjoys creating alternative realities and abstracts in post-process. Gerry prefers to interpret the world rather than just record it.
Gerry’s strengths are his ability to simplify compositions and minimize distractions in images, his unique interpretations of familiar subjects, and constantly pushing of boundaries using his experience and imagination.
