Artist’s Statement
Gerry Gantt has been taking Nature and Scenic Photographs since 1967. Camera equipment has been various Nikon® cameras and lenses. Since Digital SLR cameras became affordable, Gerry has used the Nikon D100 (2004), Nikon D2x (2005-2008), Nikon D3x (2006-2018) and currently a Nikon D850 digital camera with a 70-200 mm telephoto and 2x Tele-converter for Nature work and an 18-200 mm (D2x) zoom lens and currently a 24-120 lens with the D3x and D850 for Scenic work. His recent Scenic venue has been Thailand and that country’s beautiful Buddhist Wats. Films used in the past have been exclusively Kodak® slide films, including Kodachrome 25 and 64 and Ektachrome 100 as the Ektachrome emulsions were improved over the years.
Gerry's method for finding interesting Nature shots is to seek them out rather than waiting for them to come to him. Both methods have merit and each will produce great photographs, but prowling around works better for this photographer. He also prefers to picture animals doing something besides just sitting somewhere, if possible. Simple portraits are nice, but depicting an animal doing something characteristic of the species tells the viewer more than just what it looks like. Of course, Scenic photos, of necessity, require that the photographer go to them. Here, the most important factors in obtaining a good shot are time of day, sky conditions and time of year.
Gerry a former memberand a board member of the Northern Virginia Handcrafters Guild. He is also a former member of the League of Reston Artists, Reston Photographic Society, Herndon Council for the Arts, and American Craft Council and Artists' Undertaking Gallery in Occoquan, Virginia (2010-2012). His photographs have been displayed for sale at local Arts and Crafts Shows in the Northern Virginia and suburban Maryland areas since 2001. All photos are shown in extensive galleries at GerryGanttPhotography.com where they may also be purchased.
Printing techniques in the past have utilized the Cibachrome® materials from Illford®. Currently, the photographer works exclusively in the digital medium in Adobe PhotoShop®. Prints are available from GerryGanttPhotos.com in a variety of media and sizes, as well as on home decor and fashion items.
