Biography
Gary Sheer produces our PAN Thinks podcast. A professional photographer and videographer specializing in event photography, he describes his work as follows.
Being an event photographer, I thrive off the spontaneity associated with capturing particular moments in time. While these floating moments are fleeting, I am consistently ready when they come.
I begin my process with previsualization. Before I bring the camera to my eye I always imagine the final product first. Building the composition, dialing in the lighting, tuning into the correct camera settings all come naturally when I already grasped what I desire for the image. But the process does not end there. In order to complete my vision I must apply the appropriate technical settings in the edit.
My desire to photograph is inspired by a yearning for discovery and exploration. Harnessing these aspirations I bring a sense of wonder and curiosity with me on my assignments.
A lover of animals, Gary lives outside Boulder, CO with his partner Nicole Roberts, a fellow at PAN Works.
