Our Host

Denver portrait photographer Garrett Hacking recently brought his Colorado photography style to Los Angeles California. More specifically to the historic Music Box Steps in the hip East L.A. neighborhood of Silver Lake. The music box steps ascend many hundreds of feet and were the centerpiece locale for the academy award winning comedy short “The Music Box” starring Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, filmed in 1932. This session shows the diversity of the Colorado wedding photographer’s work as well as diversity itself amongst this group of self described “tier one” B.F.F.s. “My job is so much easier when  working with people who are comfortable in their own skin as well as with each other. The fun and relaxed vibe was contagious for us all” says Hacking. “The light and locale were great too.  The  steps themselves are exactly the same as they were nearly eighty years ago.  It was fun to imagine being on that crew doing the movie.  The history oozes out of the silent pores of the cement.  I really enjoyed bringing my gear to LA. to do the shoot and hope to get back soon to do some more!”

Denver photographer Garrett Hacking recently visited Paris France during the Holiday season. Known as “The City of Lights” already, things amp up during the holidays as the city transforms into one giant holiday village. Here, Garrett shows us some of the famous sites such as the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Arc de Triomphe,  Luxor Obelisk and the Ferris Wheel, Champs-Elysees, The River Seine, and the Latin District in all there night time glory. The Colorado wedding photographer relished the chance to visit such a beautiful and cultured city. “Everyone was always amazed I hadn’t been to Paris.  I’d get that amazement that as an artist and particularly a photographer I had never been there.  So, I got that monkey off my back. And it was amazing!  Just look at the night scene from the Latin District and all that color. And it is just a random intersection.  Next up Italy!”

Colorado photographer Garrett Hacking continues his pet portrait series following the continuing exploits of the Miniature Schnauzer named Schulz. Here, Schulz is celebrating his birthday with a new toy. The 10th of January is the day Colorado wedding photographer Garrett Hacking adopted Schulz from Vintage Dog Rescue. His age is estimated at 3 – 5 years but Garrett calls him the “Benjamin Button” dog because he seems to get younger every day!

Colorado photographer Garrett Hacking recently traveled to Europe for a Fall visit that included Barcelona Spain. “It was my first visit to Spain and very exciting to see the many amazing sites in and around the city.  There is so much history and amazing architecture.  The Gaudi work of course is everywhere and wholly unique. Las Ramblas, the main walking thoroughfare, is full of great sights, sounds and smells.  And, anytime you put your toes in a new sea  for the first time is a spiritual experience – especially the Mediterranean.” A Colorado wedding photographer, Garrett hopes to expand his business abroad and do some weddings in exotic locales. “Colorado photography will always be my number one love because that is home and I am not leaving. But at this point in my life, that travel urge has yet to subside and I enjoy exploring new places, meeting new faces here in Colorado, North America and definitely Europe.”

Colorado photographer Garrett Hacking along with Grand Salon, Ceren Vodka and Belletare presented a retrospective of concert photography from the band photographer. His music repertoire includes  Allman Brothers Band photos, Bruce Springsteen Photos, Widespread Panic photos, Neil Young Photos and B.B. King photos to name but a few. Garrett Hacking’s work has been featured on c.d. covers, book covers, publicity shoots, and his work has been used to promote such legendary products as Martin Guitars and D’Addario Guitar Strings.

The turnout was the best ever since the Salon began showcasing local artists’ work. Great fun was had by all.  Live music was provided by the lovely Alex, and lots of delicious food and drink was consumed. Garrett has been busy doing Colorado photography since his move here from Minnesota twelve and a half years ago. Since that time he has established himself as a highly sought after Colorado wedding photographer, portrait photographer and model portfolio photographer. “I really enjoy the diversity of my Colorado photography”, says Hacking.  It allows me to cross-pollinate if you will and keep new ideas coming across the radar. I feel the mix keeps all of my styles looking fresh.”

By popular demand, the exhibit has been extended through February 6, 2010.
