QUICK UPDATE:
Hello all! The silly season of Christmas craziness is almost upon us and it's that time again for a little shameless self-promotion and a new calendar for a new year!
As anyone who sells calendars on dA knows, it's certainly not about the money. A $5 profit on each calendar isn't exactly a path to riches - instead it's an opportunity to share your work and bring a little colour into people's homes.
After 3 years of pretty landscapes and general feel-good travel pics I thought it was time for a long overdue architectural-inspired celebration of our man-made environment. A few of this year's inclusions celebrate cutting-edge architecture, while others are simply moments of passing beauty and momentary abstracts that often go unnoticed. These are the shots that drag me out onto the street time and time again - the shots that inspire me during the quiet times - and the work that drives me to pursue a career that is as challenging as it is inspiring.
Hope someone somewhere out there enjoys these just a much as I do.
2012 Calendar
Hope your 2011 ends on a high and 2012 brings you a year of happiness and adventure - get out there and make your dreams happen!
Many thanks and lots of love to the family and friends who take the time to stop by here.
Merry Xmas & a Happy New Year when it comes!

Life has been good to me lately. In the space of a couple of months Ali and I have enjoyed not only a dream wedding but a once-in-a-lifetime family holiday on the amazing Fraser Island. I'm now shooting almost full-time as a freelancer for Dimension Studios (and learning a shit load along the way) alongside a healthy trickle of architecture work to keep me chirpy.
Also picked up a couple of 'Highly Commended' at this year's Melbourne Open House architectural photography competiton and a bunch of 'Honorable Mentions' and 'Nominations' at the 2011 Photography Masters Cup.

A New Year, a New Calendar and a New Website.
"Work for yourself. And don't be afraid to go into the unknown - it's always easier than you think and infinitely more exciting". ~ John Gollings, Photographer
2012 was a good year for us. Our first year of married life. My first full calendar year behind the camera. And my first time running - and surviving - a marathon! Yep, it was one to remember and a great way to mark the end of our 6th year in Australia.
Alas, life sometimes takes us - or sometimes teases us - in unknown directions. And so, after a great 6 years of building our nest and getting comfortable in Melbourne (too comfortable perhaps) we're settin' sail for the great unkno
Magazine Interview, Hong Kong
QUICK UPDATE:
Hello all! Thought I'd put up the interview I mentioned a couple of months back - thought some of you might find it interesting, seeing as my whole photography "journey" started here on deviantArt back in 2005.
The interview was done for the Hong Kong photography magazine Photo Camera Review and is published in their current June/July issue. You can see the 6-page spread below, and the full interview in english over @ www.garyannettphotography.com/blog
The work was originally picked up by the assistant editor after being featured on a couple of high-profile blogs, which were orginally sourced right here from deviantArt. So k
Beer, Beer, Beer and Blogs
QUICK UPDATE:
Hello all! Just a weekend quickie and some random ramblings....
Pretty cool to see some of my B&W work recently featured on a couple of high-profile blogs - and since peppered all over the internet in different shapes and sizes. Also pretty cool to see the work reposted in different places with French and Spanish and Hebrew commentary. Gotta love the power of the internet! And all of it was originally sourced right here from my deviantArt gallery.
Site traffic to my official website jumped from less than 100 hits a month to 1200 hits in just a few weeks. And as a result, I've just finished a pretty in-depth interview for a
Australia's Top Emerging Photographers 2011
QUICK UPDATE:
I was delighted recently to have been voted Australia's Top Emerging Architectural Photographer, in Capture Magazine's Top Emerging Photographers competition, 2011! :dance:
To say I was surprised would be a complete understatement. I had enjoyed looking through the Finalists galleries a few months earlier and was convinced there was better Magazine-worthy submissions, more fitting of the type of 'straight-up' architectural photography usually seen in the major architectural magazines. My only hope was that my work was a little bit different - more abstract, and a little bit more creative perhaps. Turns out the judges seemed
