Episode Recap
I’ve interviewed many photographers for this project, I’ve come to realize that many of them - who shoot for clients at the highest levels - are not everyday shooters. Many of them, like my guest, have regular gigs. Through the lens of Gary Wiggins, we explore how photography transcends the boundaries of mere documentation. Gary's journey from a day job in data administration to a thriving career as a sports photographer illustrates the power of passion, technical mastery, and the art of storytelling in capturing unforgettable moments.

Gary’s Pro Tip:
“I cannot say this enough to people, it’s so easy and straight forward to rent gear from companies and they have almost everything you could ever want to put your hands on. Before you make - what for many people is a massive investment - try it before you buy it. That’s the beauty of renting gear. ”
