Friends (87)About Me
Over 40 years experience producing content from nature to nudes, motorsports, to events, in virtually every form of media. I've shot and produced photographic content in 35mm and large fame, digital, and film. I've shot, directed, edited, and produced projects in HD and UHD (4K) video, for broadcast and distribution via the Internet. I have voiced and produced broadcast and Internet radio, and I was a pioneer in audio and video podcast production.
I also have produced live, streaming audio and video podcasts. I edit and post produce HD video and design and construct electronic assets such as online Z-cards, websites, photo blogs, vidiettes, and I facilitate the design and publishing of apps. And I fly camera drones, and produce photographic, HD, and UHD (4K) areal video content. For the first nearly twenty five years of my career I documented motorsports, auto racing, in just about every iteration. I worked in stills for publication and for race teams, etc, and in video for broadcast, and eventually in internet video, video podcast, and even Internet radio, before ending my motorsports career in 2011. FROM SPORTS CARS, TO SPORTSWEAR I turned to photographing beautiful women, a tough job I figured, but somebody has to do it, so it might as well be me. We all suffer for our art. For the past nearly 20 years, I have been shooting primarily fashion and glamour, swimsuit, lingerie, commercial, catalogue, calendar, and my own projects for exhibition and distribution. WHY YOU SEE SO MANY MATURE SUBJECTS IN MY WORK My particular specialty is shooting with mature subjects, women 40 years plus. My long-term photo project, the Great Model Search project features novice, mature women in their first professional glamour/fashion/figure photo shoot. I recruit, train and coach new models on techniques and strategies to develop their careers in modeling through my pro modeling group, GMS Models. I truly appreciate the mature female form and attitude, so much so that I've made photographing beautiful mature women my specialty. I have found mature subjects are more interesting, and frankly , are often sexier than very young subjects. A woman who has lived a life, brings that experience along with a sense of self-awareness to the set, a huge asset. Women are often better at portrayal, especially of intimate themes, than are young models. By browsing my portfolio, I'm sure you'll agree, mature women easily bring a large measure of beauty and sensuality to any shoot. CAREER COACHING AND SUPPORT I especially enjoy working with new models, teaching them basic techniques including, presentation, posture, posing, body mechanics, and best on-set practices, when on, and even when off camera. It's also important new models develop collaborative skills with photographers to be, not just the subject, but actually a contributor to the process of capturing brilliant images. I also enjoy assisting novice models in developing their fledgling careers. I am not an agent, and GMS Models is not a modeling agency. I think of myself more as a coach, providing advice and assistance in establishing one's modeling endeavors as a mature model. I teach them how to promote and market their talents and continually improve the quality of their work, and work product. Most importantly, I stress the importance of always being safe, imparting important strategies and policies to insure their personal and professional security., Verified Credits (7)Worked with GWK Images Arizona?

"Gary Keith has 30 years experience in the business, and is an outstanding photographer. He is a combination of all the traits that make one great: Passionate yet patient, driven and determined, yet calm and humble. Always with ideas of a great creative vision,but also with a good eye to to details in a shot. Very professional always, he would stay up after the shoot, into the wee hours of the night, processing the photos in his dedication to his craft. A true people person, he always gave much of his time to help train me as a newer model learning the trade." Read less

"One of the best and my favorite photographer. From day one GWK images have done nothing but made me feel at home and made sure I was comfortable. He never pushes you to do what you're no ready for but will sooner or later get you there. One of the best by far. Always look forward to shooting together." Read less
