Biography

My Name is Gary Shinner - "Second Glance" Photography


My interest in photography began in 1984.
It became more serious when I joined a local
Camera Club, the Velindre & Trostre, in 1991.

During the past 20 years of my membership
I have had some successes, and this gave me incentive to aim for & achieve
Licentiate of the Royal Photographic society in November 2007.

Since then I have been chasing international successes via the PSA & FIAP
and to date have managed 500+ acceptances.
I have obtained my 1st Stars in the EID PT & NT sections, but recently applied for further 'stars' in the CPID section which I now have my 2nd & 3rd Stars in.
I'm now a member of FIAP and have a "Lifecard" for EFIAP status.
I'm currently considering the next level of the RPS,
in one of my favourite subject matters 'Architecture'.

I also have a great interest in creating Audio Visual shows of my work,
to entertain, and be as creative as possible, using innovative styles synchronised to music.

I strive to be diverse in all aspects of my photographic work, and hope that you enjoy looking at the images and my attempts at creating something slightly different.

Feb 2012 now acquired a EFIAP level award.
