Colby Gilmore - Photography Bio

I grew up in the Midwest, in a childhood full of sports, rodeo, art, and science. My photography journey began in the mid-1990s at my high school, long before the digital age, and that was fine by me. For a few years, I spent more time in the darkroom than anywhere else on campus.
In the early 2000s, I went to college as a double major in Web Design and Photography. I still spent countless hours in the darkroom, but I also started experimenting with digital photography and Photoshop, and I've been blending the two worlds ever since.
Every summer, my folks took my brother and me to the mountain west states for vacation. Something about those places stuck with me, though I couldn't explain it back then. Today, I know it as humbling and raw, and it shapes how I see the world through my lens. There's a good chance you'll never catch me in a big city, but definitely out on some peak capturing work you'll see on my site..
Thanks for visiting my site and taking the time to learn more about my work.
Philosophy
Great photography begins with intention. I focus on clean, cinematic compositions that let the subject breathe, using natural light and authentic color to bring each scene to life.
