Of his work, Gary says, "I see my work as being in the Romantic tradition. My work has been described as cinema-graphic, otherworldly and emotionally charged. For myself, I would say, I love to take pictures, I'm interested in people, culture, society and a sense of place. I travel a lot and I am a romantic of sorts. I was once described as having a 19th-century sensibility. Maybe that is because I like nostalgia, found things and a touch of fantasy. My aim is to find magic in the everyday."
