It requires more than just a camera, a lens and studio lighting to document explicitly the ability to pause time and capture life’s most fleeting and provocative moments. When it comes to transferring life to stills, Gary Allridge is a photo exhibitionist whose simplistic style of imagery speaks for itself. Yet his passion to illustrate life’s most intimate experiences will render you speechless.
Born and raised in Ft. Worth, Texas, Gary took a leap of faith into the world of photography in the mid 2000s. After enlisting the services of professional photographers to shoot his auto detailing and body work for cars showcased in prominent car shows, he came to the conclusion that the output he envisioned for his work never seemed to translate through the lens. With no hesitation Gary decided to pick up a camera and try his hand at achieving his artistic vision. Once he found his creative rhythm, he hasn’t put it down since. Gary is a student of his craft who plans to continue to advance in the vast field of photography and eventually master a signature look for his eclectic images. For him it’s not just about being a good photographer but about the innovation that comes from skillfully mastering the art of digital retouching.
