f164. My new Journal.

Gavin SeimWelcome to f164. It’s been a long time coming and represents more than just a photo blog. It’s my fine art portfolio, but also the journal of my photographic travels, studies and experience. One of the first things you’ll notice are the giant images in posts. This site is all about photography and I decided to show it as best I could. Nothing beats a fine print in person, but that does not mean the internet has to show tiny pathetic images. This is a site, for which I have put design and beauty over commercial assets such as ads. This is my journal, my place to talk about what I learn, what I did right, what I did wrong, or anything in between.

If you simple enjoy art, browse around because nearly every page has something. If you’re a photographer, watch further in my posts for in depth articles on technique, as I write about my experiences. Visit this page for a more detailed look at what f164 is all about and why if not your everyday photo blog. You’ll also notice some posts prior to this one. These were art related posts imported from my other spaces and updated with fresh large images and more. Going forward you’ll see fresh content and images like the first official photo entry, Silver Waves of Grain. Hope you enjoy… Gav

About the Author

Glad you're here.

I'm from WA State USA and started studying photography in 97. I started work as a pro (using that word loosely because I sucked) using film at age 16. I learned fast but was not as easy to find training then. Sometimes I beat my head against the wall until I figured stuff out.

As digital dawned I went all in and got to study with masters like Ken Whitmire. In 09 I founded the Pro Photo Show podcast. I started promoting tone-focused editing. When Lightroom arrived, I started developing tools to make editing and workflow better.

20 years of study and photography around the country earned me a Master of Photography (M.Photog) from PPA. I got to see my workshops and tools featured in publications across the industry. Once I even won the prestigious HotOne award for my "EXposed" light and tone workshop.

Wanting something calmer, I moved to Mexico in 2017. It's a land of magical light. I'm here now exploring light and trying to master my weak areas. I make videos of that for my Youtube channel, sharing what I learn. I hope you'll stick around and be part of Light Hunters Tribe... Gavin
