Garry Warren – is a professional photographer and videographer. He is also a commercial drone pilot and fully trained in both photo editing and video production.

The quotation “Travel & photography are a marriage made in heaven” is Garry’s. He lives and breathes it. Garry has travelled extensively and wherever he travels, the camera gear goes with him. Digital DSLR’s, tripods, microphones, underwater housings and yes, the mobile phone.

Garry first became professionally involved in photography back in 1992 in the beautiful Whitsundays working on board cruise boats out to the Great Barrier Reef (Reef World) as both a PADI Diving Instructor and Photographer.

Today, Garry specialises in photography, video and drone services for the Hospitality, Travel & Tourism industry. He is also excited to feature holidays and tours/workshops that provide opportunities to combine the love of both travel and photography. After all, who doesn’t like taking photographs whilst on holiday.

After decades of experience in the Hospitality, Travel & Tourism industry, Garry has combined his love of travel with his passion of photography.

Having spent 8 years in the Hotel industry he took time out to travel Europe and North America. Whilst on a Contiki Tour, Garry was head hunted by Contiki. He was trained up and appointed as a Tour Director.

Garry returned home and it was at this time he fell in love with scuba diving. Garry continued to develop his skills as a diver and after several years achieved the rating of PADI Course Director (Instructor Trainer - top 1% of the worlds diving educators).

Several years later, Garry decided to combine his love of scuba diving with his other passion 'Photography'. He relocated to the beautiful Whitsundays to teach scuba diving full-time (including Underwater Photography). It was a fantastic lifestyle and there were plenty of opportunities for more travel. Garry also achieved his diploma in Photography.

It was time to move back home to be closer to family and friends. Garry purchased Southside World Travel. The perfect opportunity to combine his love of travel and photography.

Garry completed courses within the travel industry including airfare ticketing & reservation systems, cruising, planning travel itineraries (domestic & international) and back office management systems. During Covid-19 lockdown Garry also completed training and became an Aussie Travel Specialist (Tourism Australia).

He has travelled extensively throughout 6 of the 7 continents (Antarctica is on his bucket list!) and loves to share his hard-earned knowledge and comprehensive experience with you.
