Our Story
Founded by Gareth Garland in 2013, Garland Photography set out to become a leader withing the commercial sector of the photographic industry.
Past
Gareth Garland first became interested in photography when he received his first camera on his 14th birthday. Creating images of anything and everything he started learning the basics of how to produce a well-taken image. On his 16th birthday he received his first DSLR camera. This sent his brain into overdrive wanting to learn about Shutter speeds, Aperture, ISO and different compositions just to name the basics.
Enrolling on to an A-Level photography course at Alton College, Hampshire, Gareth learnt very quickly how to produce and distribute his images in a professional and effective way. Whilst at Alton College he also acquired a job as a Sports Photographer, quickly rising in the ranks becoming an Event Manager in control of a team of photographers for sporting events.
In 2011 Gareth started his degree in Digital Photography and Event Management at the University of Chester. Throughout the three years he has been able to build his portfolio and work with many clients from a Warrington youth cafe to the Rugby Union World Cup 2014. During this time the idea of Garland Photography was born and Gareth started to create a website to display his work.
