This channel is not about perfection.

It’s not about having the newest gear, chasing trends, or measuring your worth by likes and views. Photography should feel human, not stressful.

I’m Garrick — a photographer who believes photography is at its best when it’s personal, imperfect, and honest. This channel exists to slow things down and remind you that you don’t need to have everything figured out to make meaningful photographs.

Here you’ll find videos about:

Enjoying photography without pressure

Making better photos without obsessing over gear

Learning through mistakes (I make plenty of them)

Staying connected to photography when motivation fades

This isn’t about being the best photographer in the room.
It’s about feeling confident enough to keep shooting.

I end every video the same way because I mean it:

I’m Garrick… and I’m your best friend in the whole wide world.

If you’re here, you’re not alone in this.

Are there any curators out there? I need your help! I have been invited to hang my art at an upcoming gallery. Here is an excerpt from the invitation that explains what the show is about. Below I have 7 images. I can share 5. Which 5 would you enter? CLICK THE IMAGE TO SEE IT IN FULL. "This show seeks artists whose work challenges dominant narratives and explores the complexities of freedom, identity, power, and history in America. This exhibit aims to feature perspectives that have been historically excluded, overlooked or marginalized.
We encourage submissions that respond to questions like:
§ How do we reconcile celebration with contradiction?
§ What histories have been erased, softened, or untold?
§ What does freedom look like, or lack, today?
