Hello,
I’m Garrett Hess

I’m a joke makin’, craft beer drinkin’, metal music listenin’ photographer from Erie, Pennsylvania. I’ve spent my life exploring NW Pennsylvania and the surrounding areas, but for the past few years I’ve been doing so with a camera. Although we may not have the most epic scenery, I firmly believe that there is plenty of beauty to be found, sometimes you just have to look a little harder to find it.

Without trying to sound dramatic or cliché, this artform has changed my life. It has become my source of meditation, connection, and inspiration. I have learned so much about myself throughout this journey, and I apply that to my craft. I strive to capture emotion and passion in my work, and I try to include a piece of myself into every photograph.

My work is a reflection of me.
