ABOUT
Meet the Photographer
Hi! My name is Sean Kenneth Garvin, and I am a photographer and owner of R & G Photo. Photography has been a lifetime passion of mine. At the young age of 10, I discovered my aunt’s camera and was immediately captivated by it. I quickly developed a passion for taking pictures of things in my life and environment. From that point on, I studied various techniques and styles used by other photographers in the field; the history of photography by collecting antique cameras and related equipment; and reading books and other materials about photography. I found myself drawn to photographing scenes of the great outdoors. Growing up and living in the Northwest, has provided me with endless opportunities to capture wildlife and scenes in nature.
Entirely self-taught and following the path of many photographers like Peter Lik, my photography has evolved, as I have learned more through experience and exploring my other interests. One of my particular interests is capturing the unique beauty of the intersection of nature and mankind, specifically abandoned railroad cars, mine shafts, and ghost towns. I believe the juxtaposition of these rusting, aging, man-made objects with the magnificence of nature creates a unique beauty that is best captured in photographs. One of my photographic goals is to share the beauty that I find and capture it, whether it be landscapes or people. Each photograph tells a story, and I hope my unique skill and ability behind the camera captures these stories for all to see.
When I am not behind my camera, I spend time with friends and family. I also enjoy traveling and exploring--taking every opportunity to photograph new places and people. My other interests include tinkering on and driving cars.
Allow me to bring my passion and commitment to excellence in capturing the events in your life. Contact me for more information about my photographic work and services.
