A treetop musical getaway! I loved shooting this quaint, sunny, quiet and stunning little room. It has records for days, an old electric guitar with one my favorite distortion pedals, the Rat! It was a dream to work with Julia the architect on this. Big thanks to the stylist and designer @maxbythesea for the huge help in making this space even more beautiful than it was!
🔸
Swipe to see more angles and the rooftop patio. And… a doggy! He was our little champion throughout the day as we used him in many of the photos. I captured this with my trusty @nikonusa Z7II and @elinchrom_ltd strobes.
🔸
This was a very sunny day and we had to make the exterior shots work in broad daylight. As a photographer, our job is to problem solve. I shot with keeping in mind the photoshop work. I bracketed all the exposures and blended them together in post. Looks natural, right? It is for the most part, but with a little bit more love from @photoshop. I loved shooting this space and want to go back and play some Hendrix on that guitar.

Here it is! The cover of the latest issue for Miss Porter’s School magazine! What a fun time this shoot was. I flew into Oakland in March to photograph Glenda for the cover portrait at her home. We had five locations around her house and the design team at Moth chose this one. I had a stellar assistant from the area that helped make the shoot smooth as butter. Glenda’s daughter was getting married two days after this, so we wanted to be as quick and convenient as we could!
🔸
The rest of the photos were shot on a rainy day at the campus in Connecticut a few weeks after the shoot with Glenda. Many thanks to the entire school staff and students for making this assignment such a fun time!

Boom! I made it into a Boston Globe Magazine feature! What a fun shoot this was. We had dogs, cats and super friendly home owners who let us play inside their stunning Cambridge home!
🔸
I photographed this house over two days. With @thefrarm as my stylist and all around helper, these pictures would not have been what they are. Using my trusty @nikonusa mirrorless camera and @elinchrom_ltd strobes, I was able to capture the quick moving pets as they ran around the house.
Thanks @stylecarrot for making this project get the eyes it deserves and for @kachmardesign for the stunning design work! Swipe all the way to see other pockets of beauty this house has.

Here it is! The final photos from my last shoot with @kachmardesign in Arlington a few weeks ago. The prettiest bathroom I’ve ever shot! A very bright and spacious kitchen. The bedroom that overlooks the city and has a lot of natural light. What more could you ask for in a home?
🔸
How did I light the bathroom with all the reflections do you ask? Well, flip to the final photo in this series to get a little look at how I blocked out the light. I composited the bathroom photo from two dozen other pictures I took. I blocked out the reflection from multiple different squares at a time and then using @photoshop composited them all together! Stitch it, baby! When photographing interiors I keep in mind how I’ll retouch it later. The rest of the shots were a mix of natural light and my durable, trusty @elinchrom_ltd strobes. Big sheets abound for bouncing that light!
🔸
I had fun on this one with one of my favorite clients SKA! Boom!
#bathroomremodel #showerdesign #showerideas #bathroomdesign #bathroomrenovation
Cover shot! (And everything else inside!) I had the pleasure to work with @mothdesignboston to create images for the quarterly magazine Bulletin for Miss Porter’s School in Farmington, CT.
🔸
I photographed portraits, their new building, still life, day-in-the-life, classroom goings-on and so much more! We staged some shots and mimicked sunlight where needed. Sometimes I was just the fly on the wall. I ad my trusty cart with me all day carrying my lighting, lenses and everything else. It was a long day, but this is what I love to do.
🔸
The key to photographing people is to make them feel comfortable and affirm them that no bad pictures will see the light of day. Crack jokes where needed. I applaud Moth and the entire faculty for letting me hit their beautiful campus and roam around to capture pictures all day. I’m very proud of how all the pieces came together for this. Such fun!

Good luck to all of those in the Boston marathon today! Here are some photographs from a shoot I did with @samueladamsbeer celebrating their 26.2 beer. Fun times as always working with the Sam team. Swipe to see all the fun shots from this project.
🔸
We shot the outside pictures on a cold and cloudy day in a parking lot. We created the sunlight with two @elinchrom_ltd strobes and some bounce. For the inside pictures, we used various lighting setups and many foam core panels to bounce! That! Light! The final shot of the day was this first one you see here. And that’s a wrap!
🔸
Shout out to @kaitlaviolette_ @caitbuser @monicafoodstylist from bringing their production A game and @julia.iuna for her steady, photogenic hands and legs. Oh! And @topshelfcookies for the treats. Cheers! 🍻 🍪 🏃♀️

I recently photographed the fun and energetic MGD Plus team at their office. For this one, the only option I had was to keep it simple. Clean light, white backdrop, genuine and flattering expressions.
🔸
I had about an 8’x10’ space to setup four lights, a backdrop, foam core and my tripod. Not to mention me and my lovely subjects! We didn’t have the luxury of having a private space where I can connect with each individual on a human level, which is my first step at disarming and letting them gain my trust. I had to photograph them in an area where everyone else could watch and listen. Not an ideal situation to make people feel completely comfortable, but with some honest and fun conversation that allowed us to connect, we made away with some personal and stylish photos of everyone. ✌🏽

I shot the stunning restaurant redesign for Trade in downtown Boston. I’m a sucker for old brick walls, high ceilings and endless window light. The open vibe of the place makes you feel as if you’re in Vienna or some place. Shot with my @nikonusa Z7II with @elinchrom_ltd strobes on my trusty @manfrottoimaginemore tripod that I’ve had since I was a student. These final photos were a mix of natural light, strobe and image layering in post. I try to get everything right in camera and then only use photoshop when necessary. Fun shoot!

I recently shot a new apartment building called Arthaus in Allston, Ma. I collaborated with long time friends and client Visual Dialogue, who are an award winning design group of creative geniuses based in Boston. This beautifully modern building is pleasing on the eyes inside and out. Over three days I captured the photo and video of the interiors and exteriors. A super fun shoot! It was also a joy to have a job located less than a mile from where I live. Enjoy the snaps!

Here are some photos I captured from a home I recently shot in Cohasset. It overlooks the water and lets in a lot of beautiful light. A homey, modern, yet comfy design style echoes throughout this open home that pumps California living vibes. I could have spent three days shooting this stunning space. Upon arrival, my client greeted me with my two favorite C words: croissants and coffee! I love my job. I hope you enjoy the pictures! More to come!

Bringing it all back home. My photography career started here when I was taking pictures of my breakfasts in 6th grade with the family Fujifilm point-and-shoot camera. Here is my newest photography show featuring my favorite nature photographs spanning my career. The gallery opens next week and we’ll be having a reception sometime in July. Feeling good.

I have a big show coming up in July that I am ecstatic about! It’s showcasing a tight twenty edit of various travel photos over the span of my career. It was a joy to step away for a few days and revisit the archives and get the show ready. Here is a shot from Utah when I was last there in December of 2017. I’ll be sharing more shots from the show as we draw closer. All my work will be shown in the Lakeville, Ma library. My hometown! More details to come! Happy weekend! 🤙🏽

This is Ken, an uncle of a friend of mine. He is a builder, tinkerer and craftsman. It was a joy having met him and hear about what kind of projects he has worked on in his life. He built his house in a very remote part of Vermont and carved an old wizard face out of a deer antler for me when I visited. He also had a little cove of crystals from around the world he built, which I found fascinating. Ken, I salute you.

Here’s a video I shot for Blue Wave Solar of their ongoing solar panel project in Grafton, Ma.

Imagine having this kind of bedroom as a kid? A super fun loft style kid’s play palace. If I got into trouble and was sent to my room, “Sure dad, I’ll just play with my G.I. Joe’s on my second floor balcony and do flips off of it onto my bed after. Then go on my comfy chair swing while watching wrestling.” The room also has it’s own bathroom. Excellent work by @krausassociates.

I recently shot two new bike shelters in Cambridge at Harvard for Duo Guard. It’s right along the bike path on Western Ave and easy to find. It’s a beautiful and rad way to keep bikes safe from the weather and rub it in to all the people who drive in with their fossil fuel vehicles. As a kicker, I also biked to this shoot! Fun assignment! Bike life! 🚲 🤟🏽

Throwback to one year ago this week when I photographed the new bedding line for @lingerhome in a house in South Boston. It was the last big shoot I had before the lockdown. We had about half a dozen of us on set and shot over two days. Remember when masks weren’t a thing and life was simpler? This shoot was so much fun and we got some stellar shots of this cute kiddo! Big thanks to the team for all the prep work and making it all come together! Also for hooking me up with a duvet after the shoot, it’s the most comfortable I’ve ever owned!
#outtakes happykids #playtime #childplay #cutekid
A basement done right. I fell in love with these shelves and the lounge vibe this space provides. Captured with two strobes and one reflector to bounce the light back into the dark tones. I layered in darker exposures so the texture can show in the white fabric. Otherwise, it would have been blown out! Can’t tell, right? Swipe to see the other angles. My job is easier when I have such gorgeous locations to shoot. 🙏🏽
#interiordesign #remodeling #shelves #designinspiration #basementremodel
While I love styling and capturing wide angle architectural photos, the details of a space are what grab me. I feel they help support and show the full story. My approach to capturing the details is to have the mindset as if I am taking a portrait of them. Lighting choice, angle and composition. Everything is worthy of being photographed, especially when it was something that required a lot of time to get created. Here is a few snaps from a home I shot for @mgdplus.

I spent the last week working 12+ hour days getting our Florida home ready for the market. There were some sad moments combing through all of my dad’s belongings and finding relics from our childhood. I could feel this chapter ending and the next one beginning, which I found somewhat therapeutic. A cleansing of the past helps create more space to build rich memories ahead. We cleaned, power washed, painted, landscaped, packed, staged the house and took pictures. It’s the first time I’ve styled and shot photos of a home I’ve had so many fond memories in. It’s bittersweet really. While we hit it fast and hard, I’m happy with the work we put into it and how all of my pictures came out.

Here are pictures from the most fun shoot I’ve done in years. For @samueladamsbeer I captured a few people from the LGBTQ community in their company for a National Coming Out Day campaign. We had the music blasting, strobes firing, and an upbeat and happy vibe. It was the first portrait campaign shoot of 2020 where the clients, talent and myself were all in the same space together. It made all of us appreciative.

As our country embarks on a new path today, I am looking forward to people being able to express who they truly are without any fear.

Today would have been my father's 67th birthday. It's only been a few months since his passing and I found more of him inside me than I ever knew. When I think of Dave Gebo, what first comes to mind is his wisdom, values, strong character, love for those around him and his sincere laugh. He cared for my brother and I so deeply and I try to keep him alive through my actions. Be nice to everyone and work hard. That's what he taught me and it's those simple actions that have given me the life and community I have cultivated. Thinkering, gardening and fixing things are the activities I find help still keep him close to me.
🔸
His death has strengthened my desire to truly be the best version of myself I can be. I have chosen to surround myself with others who help me stretch the days, lose track of time, make me laugh and enable me to flourish. Since his passing, I have found myself desiring to create, travel and build upon meaningful relationships more than I ever have. We had some of his remains made into these beautiful stones (swipe to see). Wherever I travel he can now join me in taking in the sights. Thanks, Dave, for all the love and hope you've given me and those around you.

How I rang in 2021. Dan and I built an effigy to officially burn away the year that was. Thanks to Dan for doing most of the work.

I welcome the new growth and have already started to feel the shift.

Drone shots from my last day with family for Christmas. It was my dad’s favorite holiday and it’s painful to not celebrate it with him. While there was a low level hum of sadness throughout the week, giving my undivided attention to those who I am close to heals some of the pain. Swipe all the way to the end for our family photo on the beach. Happy Holidays to you all and let’s welcome the new year with open arms whatever it may bring.

Our birth was “Action!” and our death, the credits. It’s our story to tell and we pick the characters. This is was my last camping spot of 2020. A wonderful weekend along the ocean in Freeport with a few beautiful souls. We had three campsites that took over a little peninsula in one corner of the campground. It was all ours. We walked far when the tide was out, shared stories and saw shooting stars. We had a surplus of firewood and food that kept our spirits high as we laughed through the night against a raging fire. As we welcomed in the solstice that night, deep down I knew this would be the last weekend of freedom in nature before the cold weather entered and darker days approached. This trip was the last celebration after months of hiking, camping, swimming and biking all over. In times of great joy with others is when the immediate moment should be noticed, cherished and commented on. We could die tomorrow. Don’t let fear freeze you from telling your truth or feeling pain.
🔸
Since Burning Man didn’t happen this year, I had to get some use out of all my burner supplies. Until the warmer days come in the Spring, I am using my time to recover, read, learn, love, grow and be thankful for all that I’ve been given. 🙏🏽

While coping with loss, seeing old photography friends of mine has been restorative and healing. I went to @nesop_boston with @annakwalshphotography and @samquinnstuff roughly ten years ago. When embarking on a new career, sharing experiences and ideas with others whom I’ve learned the trade with has been more helpful and valuable than I could have imagined. When we get together we reminisce for sure, but the true joy is hearing what still stokes the creative fires inside of us. It’s a solid reminder than my decisions have been correct which grants me the courage to push beyond my own boundaries. While all relationships should be cherished, most of which should be the oldest ones because that trust has been tested. Photography is therapy.

My father David Gebo has passed away. He was selfless, fearless, giving, thoughtful and so very loving. Having lost both parents has left me feeling sad, lost, confused, weak, but fully loved. I learned kindness and compassion from my mother and acts of service and respect from my father. Both built a healthy foundation in which my brother Ken and I flourished upon. We were treated like adults early, shown support, respect, and above all shown attention.
🔸
My father has battled more health issues than any person I had ever known and he never complained once. He only worried about how his problems affected others. A truly altruistic man that loved his family and friends. He is where I got my strength, resilience and grace from.
🔸
When my mother suffered a severe stroke when I was 15, he dedicated the next six years of his life to her until she eventually passed away. I have never witnessed love displayed in such a true way. It was a testament to his character and love for my mother. It showed that true love requires sacrifice.
🔸
Soon after I moved to Boston to attend photography school he met a beautiful soul in Peggy. I am so fortunate to still have her. Peggy, my brother and the rest of my small family will all continue to grow, appreciate life and just be together.
🔸
The last time we talked was on my birthday on 9/27 and “I love you” were the last words we exchanged. I am fortunate in knowing almost everything I wanted to say, express and do for my dad I have already done. There are no regrets, but the pain is striking. To grieve is to be human and I feel so alive as much as I might want to crawl in a hole for awhile.
🔸
Love is the thumbprint of divinity upon our biology. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it and join the dance. I want to thank my father for giving me strength, encouragement to be my weird self, showing me anything is possible, never limiting me and for giving me the ability to love wholly. I am going to do my best to let his lessons, values, humor and fearlessness live on through my actions. Thank you, Dave. 🖤
All at once Summer collapsed into Fall. Throwback to a few weeks ago on 8/24 when I went camping in a special secret hideaway in Allegheny National Forest. It was voted the second best campsite in the state! We had beach front campfires and enough space to throw a mini-Burn.
🔸
As Summer winds down September rolls on. I have spent more time outdoors this season than any year I can remember. Not having FOMO, tending to the parts of the garden I can touch and spending time with a closer knit group of people, it has allowed me to do what I feel most comfortable doing. Acting like my 9 year old self and having fun with nature with no worries on my back. I will still be leaning hard into outdoor life well into our first snowfall. 🤙🏽

Biking Boston to Cleveland. We’re currently on day five riding the Erie Canal Bike Path. It’s stunning and a true joy to ride this well-maintained route. We’re averaging 85 miles a day. Yesterday we did 105.
🔸
Why am I doing this? A practice of radical self reliance. A focus on self care. True freedom. Realizing how little we actually need. Endorphin rushes. Time to think. Breathwork. Commitment. The closest to feeing like a cowboy. Increasing my levels of patience, tolerance for pain and threshold for discomfort. Oh, and getting to eat everything I want without guilt!
🔸
At a campground we stayed at in Greylock we saw people driving from their campsite to the bathrooms and I laughed my ass off. People can become lazy because their culture enables them. I’m not a genetic freak with abnormal physical abilities, just a normal dude. I believe in stressing the organism and resisting comfort. Eustress is healthy stress. It’s better to create and manage your own hell so you can handle when others give it to you.
🔸
Strength comes from the mind. You can do anything you want to if you let yourself. Through intention, hard work, discipline, persistence and patience I have created the exact life for myself with ultimate freedom. No debt, no boss, little ownership, my passion is my career and I thankfully have a healthy enough body to do nearly anything with. I also don’t believe in backup plans and go all in with everything I do. Enough for now, I got hills to climb. ✌🏽
Taken one year ago today, 8/28/2019. Since my annual pilgrimage has been canceled, I have reimagined the journey with long adventures that rival the physical, mental and spiritual growth I gain when attending Burning Man.
🔸
I am currently still on these adventures and feeling such deep flow and gratitude. The bicycle is tuned, route mostly planned and I’m ready. Hills, rail trails, fire, sweat, endorphins, sunshine, deep thought, big meals, farm lands and time to be. May I be alive to see the end of the world. 🤙🏽

The perfect view while drifting to sleep. I shot this from my campfire a week before 2019 Burning Man. I had a week of hiking, swimming and camping alone before I headed to the desert. It was a nourishing time of post-aya reflections and setting my pre-burn intentions. The stillness before the beautiful chaos.
🔸
This whole area is stunning. Next time you’re thinking about adventuring Yosemite, consider the less traveled, more tranquil and just as beautiful Mono Lake/June Lake area. A was visited from a bear on this night, so be careful. A big thanks to @greeniceandham and @tessrud for providing me with everything I needed to navigate these gorgeous and sacred lands. 🤙🏽

A fun shoot on the Charles for the staffing agency @hollister_institute. They wanted to create a new leadership program that embodied their company philosophy. The idea I came up with was to capture earth, fire, water and air for their holistic leadership program.
🔸
I shot 3,000+ photos, worked with 50+ models, in 8+ locations and we had two months of prep time. Organizing six different shoots over four days took a ton of energy and an all hands on deck approach. We shot on the Charles river on kayaks as shown here, in a farm outside the city, on rooftops, in offices, mediation rooms and elaborate kitchens. Swipe right to see an aerial photo. Production manager and art director @gmwll took the lead on helping find locations and models for the shoots. He was also a mode himself! Thanks to The Sherman Group for bringing me in on such a fun and unique project!

Three generations. Kenneth, David and Abigail Gebo. After renting an RV and driving down to Florida to visit my father, I couldn’t explain how important it was for me to watch my newborn niece meet my dad. When their eyes first locked it felt like a loop was closed, a torch has been passed and the breath of a new generation was finally visible. In a way, it was a sigh of relief. I am proud of my brother Ken, his wife Whitney, their newborn Abby and my father for all creating life out of love.

In addition to shooting interior photos, I also provide props from my personal collection and style the scenes too. Here is a book by @annieleibovitz that helped shift my perspective on professional photography. Even if you have no interest in taking pictures there is a wealth of life wisdom dispensed by one of the greats.

Here’s the attic office of @mandarina_studio_ I captured a little while back. It was fun revisiting old work with fresh eyes. Swipe left to see more of Amanda’s bright and sweet space, including some detail shots of her mid-century furniture.

Interior designers are artists and ones like Amanda inspire me tremendously. They are able to have the vision in an empty space to create something so unique and finely tuned to the individual inhabiting it. I love what she’s done here. My office has a bit more of a Neverland, bohemian jungle kinda vibe.

Cornhole anyone? Thanks to @gmwll @dpierson11 @wzlane for stepping in as my models for this fun shoot for @samueladamsbeer. You may notice a bunch of my photo and video work floating around Instagram and other social media outlets this Summer.

We shot this awhile back and Sam Adams offered endless beer to our subjects. It didn’t take much more to convince them to enjoy summertime fun while letting me capture it. The subjects were friends and family who all stepped up and brought their A game. Thanks to all the people who helped make this come together and a big thanks to @dwwells for bringing me on to shoot this super fun and memorable day. Be safe out there and cheers!
