ABOUT

I love it when people say hi!

info@garretsuhrie.com

I am a wanderer and photographer, guess you could say Los Angeles based though chances are I'm off in the backcountry or lost out in the world.  A lifetime ago, I went to school for painting and art history, which were a huge influence on my photography.  I focus mainly on long exposures and painting with light; I simply traded in my paintbrush for a flashlight. Beauty doesn't fade with the sun and the night often adds a mysterious and magical element to the scenery, a peculiar feeling which I try to fuse into my work, using light and its absence to capture the surreality of dreams with my camera.  For myself at least, there's nothing better than the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night.  I try to capture that strange and share a view of the world not so often seen.  My camera has taken me to some pretty amazing places and I love to share, so thanks for stopping by.
