The Overlooked Flower

I think Dandelions are actually very stunning. We tend to overlook them because their abundant and can be annoying. If they were rare we would probably covet them.

There’s an amazing amount of God’s handiwork in this little weed. I was thinking. If instead of being scattered around the yard I put all the dandelion into a flowerbed they would look pretty cool.

I shot this with Radio Poppers on my 580 flashed to get the Strobist side lighting effect. Then I felt it looked too normal in color so I applied an infrared preset from my PW2 collection. This tiny under appreciated weed is so intricate and detailed in it’s beauty.

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
