Gary Perlow, an ex-New Yorker, has been living in the northern Virginia area for over 30 years.  He was a home builder who especially enjoyed designing kitchens and bathrooms.  He is presently actively involved in commercial real estate investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He began taking photographs seriously around 2013, and has been a member of NVPS since 2018.  His favorite genres are conceptual, landscape, and portrait.  Always looking to grow as a photographer, he enjoys learning, studying, and experimenting with new ways to express ideas visually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gary has won awards for his photography, including a national best-in-show in monochrome in 2024 from the Photographic Society of America, two best-in-shows from Nature Visions\/MAPV in 2019 and 2022 (as well as in a variety of categories), and the NVPS\u2019s Ollie Fife award in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has been exhibiting photographs in galleries around the country and in Barcelona, Spain.\u00a0He currently is participating in a group show at the Carter Burden Gallery in Manhattan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blur:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blur in photography is something we have always experienced many times \u2013 but it is not always a flaw: it can be a powerful tool for expressing emotion and creativity.  By intentionally incorporating blur, photographers can enhance the storytelling aspect of their images and create mystery, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
