Welcome!
I’m Gary Latham, a UK-based travel, lifestyle and commercial photographer. If I had to sum up what I do in one sentence, it would be "I try to find magic in the every day."
I shoot editorial features for travel magazines, lifestyle images for advertising and design agencies, and supply stock images to photo agencies. I also take pictures for fun!After graduating from Blackpool Design College and Lancaster University in 1996, with an HND, PQE and BA (Hons) in Photography, I moved to London to assist several advertising and fashion photographers before going freelance in 1999. I have travelled the world with a camera ever since, supplying quality images to some amazing clients.
Image-making is a real pleasure for me, something I have been doing since childhood. I take photographs not just for the pleasure it brings me but also for clients who like my way of seeing the world. I aim to tell a visual story while trying to charge the image with an emotional resonance that will engage the viewer.
Light and a sense of drama are important to me. Image-making can be both a mediative and transformative activity. It is a moment when creativity can be expressed. Monochrome photography, fashion, reportage and the Romantic art movement have always fascinated me. I am looking to install my images with a feeling of mystery in the familiar, striving to find that special space between the found and the imagined. I am looking for a decisive moment to capture the image so that the captured moment remains ephemeral and spontaneous.
PHOTOGRAPHIC TOURS OF SOUTHEAST ASIA.
I have been leading photography tours in Southeast Asia with All Points East since 2012, exploring the beautiful and diverse countries of Thailand, Burma (Myanmar), Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos. The chance to pass on my knowledge and experience from working on numerous commercial and travel assignments worldwide as a professional photographer is a fun way to explore and teach photography.
