Kerry Garrison is a commercial and lifestyle photographer based in Southern California. Kerry has been shooting for websites and magazines for the past ten years and starting shooting weddings in 2008. Kerry teaches workshops and seminars across the country and runs the popular photography website Camera Dojo. Kerry also has his own line of lighting products called Blackbelt Lighting Products.
Bio: Kerry Garrison started in photography by doing product shots for several hobby related websites he was running. Without having the funds to pay for a photographer, he needed to learn how to make good images, how to do lighting, and how to do post production. These experiences lead to publication of images in several trade magazines.
In January of 2007 Kerry launched a photography website to help people to learn how to make their images better and show how to use different products. Very quickly CameraDojo.com became quite popular with photographers learning their craft and a year later a companion podcast was launched.
Today Kerry’s main business is still commercial and product work with a handful of weddings during the peak season. Kerry still runs the CameraDojo.com website and podcast and leads the OC Photo Club photography group based in Irvine, Ca.
