Gail Chiaramonte Photography

Hi and Welcome, I'm Gail!

When I was 13 years old, my Godfather took me to Yosemite National Park and that is where it all began. My heart fell in love with photography and from that day forward my camera became an extension of my hand.

I was in awe that I was able to stop a moment in time with just one click and in seconds it became a memory. My photography journey started from that Yosemite trip, and then went onto capturing children, families, and events. I was capturing the beauty in the world and that led me to environmental letters. I believe the world is ours to capture the way we see and experience it, in the moment.

My Top Three Photography Passions

Landscapes-Seascapes

There are so many wonders in the world. Most of the time we are looking for something big to capture. When really all you need to do is step out into your own backyard (so to speak) and you will find true beauty.

Wild Life

I love being outside soaking in my daily dose of vitamin D.

My love of photography, the outdoors, and being able to put them together is my solace.

Photographing wildlife, such as animals and plants in their natural habitats, offers a unique opportunity to capture the beauty and rawness of the natural world. Whether it's capturing the movement of a bird in flight or the delicate details of a dew-covered flower, patience and stillness are key.

Letter Art

Everywhere I look I see letters. The environmental letters are just waiting to be assembled into meaningful forms. I love crafting words and names from these seemingly random letters, it's captivating. It's a creative puzzle where each letter is a piece, and the final word or name is the finished artwork.

What Photography Means To Me

Seeing Things Differently

We all see things differently and photography helps me look at the world through my eyes. I notice the little things; beauty, patterns and the letters that surround us everywhere.

Photography helps me enjoy my surroundings and the wonders of the world that we have been given. From the tiniest flower or insect, to the ocean so big, there is so much beauty and wonder in the world that we tend to take it for granted. Through photography, I am able to bring it to life and share it with others.

My Favorite Photo

Selecting my favorite photo is not about finding the one photo of a lifetime, it is about finding that one image that speaks to me in the present moment.
It's an image that has sparked emotion or reflects a passion for my photography and my artistic voice. It's like choosing a favorite song: it can change depending on your mood, the weather, or if you just heard a killer new tune that blew your mind.

This photograph currently holds that special place as my "favorite," but the ever-evolving journey of discovering and learning new things is what makes it so much fun!.

I would like to encourage you to check back often to see which image resonates next.

My Camera

I love my camera deeply—not just as a tool, but as a constant companion in my journey through life.

It's been with me across continents, capturing moments both grand and intimate, giving me the power to freeze time and tell stories through light and perspective. From quiet alleys in old towns to sweeping mountain vistas, it has helped me see the world more clearly and express the way I feel about it.
