Gary Rubin’s photography journey began in middle school with his dad’s Minolta SRT-101.\u00a0He shot primarily black-and-white film through\u00a0high school and into college, where he was a photographer and photo editor for his college yearbook.\u00a0He set photography aside for a few years after college and made the move to digital photography about 20 years ago to document and share his kids’ activities and adventures with family members.\u00a0About 10 years\u00a0ago, Gary began to return to photography as a hobby, shooting wherever family activities and vacations took him.\u00a0He started getting more serious about sports photography thanks to his kids’ involvement in a variety of sports.\u00a0He found in particular that watching his son’s wrestling matches through a DSLR eyepiece provided emotional distance and made the matches much less stressful.\u00a0While he continues to shoot a variety of subjects and genres, the vast majority of his shutter clicks are spent capturing sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gary is currently a freelance and volunteer sports action photographer. He can often be found at Falls Church High School, where he volunteers on behalf of the Athletic Boosters and also provides sports action photos for sale as team fundraisers. A highlight of his sports photography experience was being classified as a staff member during the post-COVID return to sports when spectators were still unable to attend games. During those shortened seasons he photographed every sport at FCHS and allowed the Boosters to provide parents and family members with images of their athletes competing. Gary’s preferred style is to shoot and crop tight to give viewers a feeling of being in the midst of the action and to provide a perspective that can’t be seen from the bleachers.  He primarily shoots on a Nikon Z6iii and D5. His current favorite lens is a Sigma 120-300mm f\/2.8. He is a 2nd-year member of NVPS.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
