Gary Lowell

I developed an interest in photography at a very early age. My father was a photographer and taught me the basics of photography and film developing in our darkroom. I have very vivid memories of watching the image come to life as the chemicals worked their magic in the darkroom. I was probably around 12 years old when I got my first camera and I’ve been hooked ever since. Later in life I began taking it beyond the hobby stage and started doing some photojournalism work  while living in Europe. After returning home I decided to follow my dream of opening a photography studio. My background is in Information Technology and I am a Systems Engineer by day. We operate Chasing the Sun Creative Media on nights and weekends. Our business provides me with a great opportunity to use both my creative and technical skills
