When it came time to shoot my publicity shots for the launch of my new book, 'The Menagerie', I knew without a second’s hesitation who I wanted as my photographer. Gaye Gerard has always been at the top of my list as the photographer I would choose to photograph me when it came time to do so!
"She always makes me feel at ease in front of the camera. Gaye's photos are like pieces of art, which capture the spirit and mood of the subject and evoke emotion. She has the ability to convey a statement and create an impression with each of her photos, and as I am an author trying to convey a clear message with my book, I couldn't think of a better or more brilliant creator than Gaye to help me get the message across in a clear and concise way."
