About The Artwork

Originally shot for a travel feature on the annual Sámi Reindeer Migration in 2010 but not used by the magazine. Following the annual Sámi Reindeer Migration in Lapland (Arctic Sweden). This image was taken on the first day of the migration. At this stage the reindeer have a lot of pent up energy and driven on by the Sámi herders it is in their nature to run as their instincts drive them on. My aim was to express a moment of magic. To transcend if possible the everyday into something epic, expressing the excitement and elation that the migration has begun. There is power and grace to the reindeer movement, everything is happening fast and I wanted to express this feeling of movement and energy as we race along with the herd. My aim is always to try and capture a moment of magic, transcending the everyday to express the epic nature of the migration, the feeling of otherworldliness that extreme cold and snow can bring and the beauty and isolation of the landscape in which the Sámi live and work. It was a privilege to experience the Sámi reindeer migration and to be with the family in their natural habitat and glimpse their ancient way of life which as with most nomadic peoples is now under threat.

Since 2012 Gary has led photography tours in Burma, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos and Thailand, combining his passion for travel and his commitment to helping others develop their photographic skills. 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. 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."
