Programs-Lectures-Platform Speaking & Professional Photographers' Source Page.
Gary has a long history of being a celebrated platform speaker for professionals. He has spoken around the US and lectured twice in Sweden. He is often sought as a judge for Florida Sections (affiliates) and the Florida Professional Photographers. In 2007 he was the only in-state speaker to be on the platform. The balance was national and international. His most popular programs are:
"Tackling the Commercial Assignment for the Professional Wedding and Portrait Photographer"
"The Art of Architecture reflecting Your Art."
"Owning a 12 megapixel camera, doesn't make you a photographer any more than owning a pen makes you a writer."
"Recapturing your vision after the Great Recession"
"Learning the basics of Infrared Photography"
Legal, Personal Injury Photography, Photo Verification, Testimony, Expert Witness services:
With 48 years experience, Gary is a sought after source for the legal profession. His attention to detail, exacting and meticulous documentation procedures, and professional image have earned him stature as a credible expert witness in a variety of trials and cases pending trial. Working with litigators, prosecutors, private and public defenders, Office of Regional Council, and mediation lawyers has brought Gary a wealth of experience from original documentary photography to preparing powerpoint presentations. Little things, like photographing PI on surgical white backgrounds and documenting surface injury in both inches and millimeters give that extra-professional look that make inclusion into the court much easier. Please contact us for more details.
