Gary and Pamela Box own and operate Box Portrait Gallery in Sapulpa, OK, a town of 25,000 near Tulsa. Their studio sits on historic Route 66. The Boxes have a combined 40 years experience in the photography industry.
Perfection on all levels is their goal when shooting a session. Gary & Pamela both believe in knowing and understanding the foundation of photography, working hard and paying close attention to detail means much LESS time in front of your computer for post production! They strongly feel Photoshop should be used as a creative tool, not a technical crutch. They use manna different lighting techniques & modifiers to create tremendous variety and dynamic results. The more great images your clients have to choose from, the more they will purchase.
Connecting with each client is also very important to the Boxes. Much of a session is spent listening to the client, observing their individual personalities to make each shot unique and capturing the essence of their spirit. Gary and Pamela are both very passionate about their craft and continue to push themselves both photographically and in business.
Gary has self published 5 Digibooks and together, Gary and Pamela have published a book named Chiaroscuro, now on it’s second revision. Chiaroscuro is a complete lighting and posing guide. Their books have helped thousands of photographers all over the country! Their “color outside the lines” philosophy and business sense have made them two of the most successful photographers in our industry today.
Outside of their studio, the Boxes stay very busy with their five children ranging from 13 to 20.
