I’ve worked with Gaylon off and on for the past 20 years. His ability to capture the people aspect of industry makes him one of the best photographers I’ve ever worked with. Not just his skill - of finding the right light or pose - but his enthusiasm excites everyone around him. Gaylon is always the first one I call when I need a real pro. More...

Similar to lots of people, I really dislike having my photo taken, but having professional photos of yourself when you own a business is a necessary part of marketing. I was lucky enough to have Gaylon take photos of me for my new home staging business and he was great at putting me at ease during the process. The photos are so much better than I could have hoped and I have been proudly using them to promote my business and my home staging services in a professional and personal way. Thank you, Gaylon!

Gaylon is an outstanding photographer. His technical ability is second to none, but perhaps even more important, he knows how to tell a story with a photograph. I can't recommend him enough.
What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
Beautiful light, great moments and a simple but powerful background.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
To my prospective client; What is your goal, who is the audience and how will the photograph be used. These are all important steps to a successful photoshoot.
What do you love most about your job?
The opportunity to connect, observe and capture the essence of the people who hire me to photograph.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I've learned a lot after being a professional photographer for 30-plus years. The most important thing is, love what you do and do what you love. When I take on an assignment, I put everything I have into capturing the moments my clients need – timing, composition, color, contrast, equipment and most importantly, lighting. The only way for me to photograph the way I like, is to be my own boss.
Why should our clients choose you?
I have had a life and career long passion for visual communication and for people. I am a photo nerd and I love exploring what is possible with the camera. Additionally, I am proficient with lighting – both natural, available, and supplemental flash. I have photographed my neighbors and friends, as well as Fortune 500 CEO's.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Once my edit is done, I immediately upload to a secure website where you can view and choose images, order prints, share to social media and make comments.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
We will all take the steps necessary to reduce exposure and risk; masks, 6 feet apart and I will have wipes and disinfectant spray on-hand.
Business Portraits/Head shots
I arrive at your location and set up lighting as needed. I prefer to shoot against a solid white background for headshots but will work with the client's needs. My turnaround is fast and a fully edited shoot will be available for viewing within 24 hours.
Oil and Gas Photography
This is where I love shooting most - the oil fields of the world. I capture the people, metal and landscape in a unique and artistic way to help show how cool your company really is. I like to shoot sunrise and sunset light for the dramatic beauty, then the rest of the day to capture all the details you need photographed. In addition to my stills work, I offer aerial drone capture of video and stills.
Photojournalism
I am a story teller with a camera. My work takes me around the world telling stories through photography for magazines and non-profit organizations. I have worked in more than 150 countries, many of them multiple times.
Aerial Drone video and stills
I am a part 107 licensed drone pilot and will fly anyplace I need and am able to capture your project.
Industrial/Energy Photography
I love photographing the accomplishments of humans. I capture the scope and story of what your company needs to reveal your best side to your audience.
