"We will be happy if any of our fine art images evoke a feeling of joy, serenity, empathy, or transport you to a place where you have always wanted to go or one that you visited and brings back memories and a smile to your face.”
We, Gerry D'Onofrio and Dora Ramirez, a married couple living in Northern Virginia with many years of experience behind the camera, founded GerDora Photography as a result of a long-time dream of sharing our fine art images with the world. Our interests include nature as well as traditional and contemporary themes reflecting different points of view. We work together and complement each other believing our joint efforts enhance our final creations.
We usually go out to shoot photographs together and, as we like to say, “We shoot together but separately” as we typically travel to the same location, we part from each other and converge, and later enjoy seeing how differently we “see” the same subject. We believe that, aside from capturing strong images, taking into account the basic rules of composition (and knowing when to break them), lighting, interesting subject matter, etc., oftentimes the artistry is defined in the creative post-processing phase. The right crop, rendering the image in black and white, sepia, or color are a few of the many decisions that have to be made to convey a particular feeling or vision.
We don’t want to limit ourselves to a specific subject matter or style, which may seem like a necessity in this age of “niches.” We are constantly experimenting and evolving. Our inspiration comes from the places we have lived and traveled and many times from the most unexpected ones. We are very proud to have won a number of awards for our fine art photography and our images are part of corporate and private collections.
Our greatest reward, however, is to know that there are people who show interest in our work and tell us they like it. We love the interaction with people and enjoy seeing how they react to our fine art images.
Recently, a customer acquired one of our framed images to give to her husband as a birthday gift. We were touched when she sent a message saying, “My husband’s birthday was yesterday and he absolutely loved the print. It is hanging prominently in our living room now. I love your work, it’s so beautiful and [of] wonderful quality.”
We really appreciate that friends have purchased some of our pieces and knowing that some of our work is hanging on the walls of total strangers really rocks our world!
We are very much looking forward to participating in Winchester’s Amuse Art and Craft Festival and interacting with the people who stop by!
