Gavin Seim 2010 2 245x300 Meet GavinI’m Gavin: You’ll find no fancy degrees from an art school hanging in my studio, just images and the stories behind them. Not that I’m against learning. In fact I’m pretty fanatical about it. It started with lots of trial and error and all those rolls of film when I was about twelve. The trial and error has not stopped, but I’ve learned to better hone my skills and continually attend training seminars and workshops. I’m blessed to have learned from some of the best photographers in the world and in recent years, have had the honor of teaching other photographers a bit of what I know. I love talking shop and I love sharing what I’ve learned with others.

I’m heavily involved in the photo community. Some of my most known projects include Pro Photo Show, a photography podcast and learning community for photographers that I founded in 2006. I’m also the guy behind Seim Effects, creative editing tools and tips for photographers.  You can learn about all my current projects at seimstudios.com.

My job is awesome and I love finding new ways to see things. I like the gear and gadgets, but I also like looking at what’s worked for centuries, reading, observing and studying the works of master painters and legendary photographers. I’m a very driven guy. Sometimes it drives people that know me crazy, but I learn a lot from it. I like pushing the limits of what’s possible, but also studying how it relates to techniques that have stood the test of time.
