More than just a photographer— a storyteller with a camera.

Born and raised in the vibrant city of Charlotte, North Carolina, Gavin developed a passion for capturing moments that tell a tale. His journey into photography began in 2008 with a simple point-and-shoot camera, exploring the streets of his hometown and uncovering the narratives hidden within its diverse corners.

Today he specializes in capturing the authenticity of human connections, whether it's the raw emotion in a candid portrait on your wedding day or showing capturing your unique journey into Motherhood. He believe that every photograph has a tale to tell, and it's his mission is to unearth these narratives, offering viewers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of life. Some of Gavin most notable publications include CNN, Essence, USA Today and People Magazine 

When he's not behind the lens, you'll find Gavin in his cozy studio, located in the heart of Charlotte, recording for his podcast The Black Dads Club and Paid in Exposure!

RECENT EXHIBITION AT THE LIGHT FACTORY CHARLOTTE, NC

Black Gaze:
Representation, Identity, and Expression

BLACK GAZE was born in the midst of the pandemic in a chance meeting with Titus Brooks Heagins at TLF during a conversation about the lack of resources offered to emerging Black photographers. Titus mentioned that he was at a point in his life that he wanted to “give back.”

This sparked the beginning of a year-long project to mentor six emerging Black photographers to create new bodies of work that will be exhibited throughout Charlotte.

Titus and the other photographers will have community conversations starting in January at TLF in Plaza Midwood.

The photographers include Cheryse Terry, Jessica Dunston, DaRemen J., Gavin Boulware, Cordrell Colbert, and Phillip Loken. Since August of 2021, these photographers have collaborated to not only create amazing images but also to become life-long friends.
