Months on the Road and the New Film About Photography & History

PhotoGraphics8

 

It’s no secret that I love to travel, to study and to hunt out ideas new and old that will make me a better image maker.

But months on the road are not free. And gas is certainly not. The hidden but sad truth is that my bill collectors do not put my bills on HOLD while I load up my entire family and spend months on the road traveling, studying, filming and making new images. So while each of my giant trips is fairly open in it’s destinations, I still plan. Last year by big project was the EXposed workshop. It was more work than I imagined, but it also came out better than I ever imagined

Here we are in 2013 and the time has come – In around a month we’ll hit the road again for about three months. For details on that visit the tours page. This years project is one I’m very excited about. One that takes on some of the harder to approach concepts of photography, like composition and over arching technique. But it does something more. As the adventures progress, this film explores history and looks for what we can learn from it to make our art better.

The truth is I don’t know exactly what I’m going to find our there. But I know it’s going to be interesting and I’m confident you’re going to like what you see. We’re gearing up and laying out plans now for what’s shaping up to be a bold project for a small fish like Seim Studios. But stay tuned. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

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
