Welcome to the Maritime Photographic website.

This site features a cross-section of images by multi-award winning photographer, Gary Davies, whose photography has risen to great heights since starting out in 1985, which is more than can be said of him!

Extensive worldwide travel has played a part in achieving more than 5,000 published pictures. These have appeared in a wide assortment of industry, media, and enthusiast publications, ranging from regular use in books, magazines, and calendars to industry reports and commercial directories. His images have even illustrated postage stamps and appeared in a James Bond movie.

In addition to life behind the lens, Gary has written over 70 published articles on both photographic and naval matters for a number of international ship magazines. A frequent contributor to ‘Ships Monthly’ magazine, he currently compiles the monthly ‘Naval’ news feature.

Based at Lee-on-the-Solent on England’s south coast, Gary is ably distracted by part-time writer and photographer, and seemingly full-time weather jinx, Patsy Collins.

If you have any comments, queries or observations about the website or Maritime Photographic, please contact Gary Davies.
