Adrian McGarry Photographer
Originally from Manchester, UK, I now enjoy life in North Wales. I am a UK-based photographer, artist, writer, speaker, and workshop leader, and recognised as an authority in iPhone photography.
My creative career has spanned over five decades. I have collaborated with various organisations and operated my own studio, gaining experience in every aspect of the publishing industry, from traditional methods to digital techniques.
I transitioned from DSLR to iPhone photography in the early 2010s and never looked back. From this grew what I call the iPhone photography mindset, an approach that puts vision before gear and transforms limitations into creative opportunities.
I have witnessed smartphone photography evolve into something few could have predicted: a genuinely capable camera, always with us and ready at a moment’s notice. The days of relying on a traditional camera for all our photography needs are over. What really matters is vision. Technology plays its part, but it is how we use it that counts. If you only ever take casual snaps with your phone, that is all you will ever create. The iPhone photography mindset is about moving beyond snapshots, trusting the phone as a camera in its own right, exploring its potential and using it with purpose.
I share this enthusiasm through dynamic talks and workshops at camera clubs, corporate events, and exhibitions. My presentations cover technical and conceptual aspects, providing an engaging experience for all participants.I'm available for in-person or virtual sessions via platforms like Zoom.
I encourage audience interaction and feedback, fostering ongoing dialogue through my website and email after events. My presentations and workshops can be tailored to your needs and last from one to four hours, ensuring a professional and enriching experience for groups and individual sessions.
Please consider contacting me and I will be only too pleased discuss your requirements.
