About Gamby Rose Images
A dear friend encouraged me to purchase my first camera at the age of 35.
Something that I’ve wanted to do since I was a teenager. Within a day of purchasing, I was in the city taking photos. New Orleans is easy to photograph. It’s vibrant, always moving, and provocative at times.
I took my first portraits within hours and I was hooked. I enjoy photographying people more than anything else. I’m always surprised that many have no issues with me taking their photo. More often people ask me to.
There’s a pride to this city and true natives want you to see it.
These are all amateur photos. Honestly, love that fact . No qualms about not having perfect photos. I do this because I love it. My goal is tell a story and to be lifelong learner; hopefully about the art of photography and frankly life. This city is an amazing teacher - both of the good and hard times. Just maybe New Orleans will engage you as well.
