Reg Garner is a professional photographer with a passion for capturing the beauty of nature with his camera. He spends his free time afield, making photographs along beaches, natural springs, or deep in a swamp. His work is displayed at area hospitals, local offices, and galleries.

Reg’s love for photography was inspired by his father, also a photographer, who taught him the fundamentals of film cameras. As a young man, Reg met and attended a lecture by the father of landscape photography, Ansel Adams, who has influenced Garner’s photography ever since.

Reg also enjoys teaching photography at local camera clubs and is frequently a guest speaker on photographing Florida nature. He has given lectures at Friends of the Wekiva, Orlando Shriners, Seminole county Audubon Society, Understand Photography Podcast.
