About

Hello all. Thank you for finding my website, by whatever means made you appear here.

My name is Gareth Freer Bargate. I’m a 28 year old person living in the normally sunny and warm city of Durban, located in South Africa (where I’ve spent my entire life so far). I finished university in 2011 with a degree in Creative Brand Communications, and an Honours in Brand Leadership.

While I’ve held occupations of Marketing Manager and Brand Manager – amongst many other things – this website is more just a showcase of my photography and writing. If you spend long enough here, you’ll notice I have a clear interest in automotive photography, and traveling. The writing aspect comes through as a result of sharing my various thoughts and discoveries while out and about.

The majority of my photos are shot on my Canon 6D with a wide assortment of lenses. I also use my DJI Mavic Pro and GoPro Hero 3+ to make videos –  and sometimes aerial photos.

I am proficient in the following programs:

– Adobe Illustrator
– Adobe Photoshop
– Premiere Pro
– Final Cut Pro
– Adobe Lightroom CC
– WordPress/Joomla websites

Not as proficient, but can still find my way around:

– xCode
– Adobe Dreamweaver
– Android Studio
– Autocad 2014
– blender

(Obviously, in addition to the above, I can use Word, Powerpoint, Excel etc.)
