Hello!  My name is Jeff. I started Jeff Gacad Photography (originally as Stingray Photo Imaging) back in 2013 just as a way to show my photos on Facebook. This has since grown to the website you are viewing today. Photography has been an interest of mine for quite a long time. My first camera purchase was an Olympus point-and-shoot. Through the years, I upgraded my cameras and switched to Canon gear. When I decided to get more serious about my photography, I finally got my first DSLR, a Canon 80D. I have graduated to full frame and am currently a Sony shooter and loving it!

I am originally from the Philadelphia area and attended college at West Virginia University with a degree in Advertising. After working in that field for a few years, I made a dramatic career switch and became a marine mammal trainer. I have been doing this over 20 years. 2010 brought another change for me and I made the move to Southern California for work and now call Seal Beach my home.

I feel that in photography, you never stop learning, and so I am always trying to improve my skills. I hope you enjoy my photos and will join me on my journey!!
