Behind the lens
The way I see it...
I’m Todd Gaul, a photographer drawn to the character, atmosphere, and unexpected moments that make every subject unique. My approach is rooted in curiosity: observing the details, finding the right light, and allowing a photograph to tell its own story.
My work spans portraits, editorial and event photography, the vivid spectacle of the state fair, and the distinctive world of instant film. I enjoy working with both digital and analog processes, exploring how different tools and techniques can shape the feeling of an image.
Whether I’m photographing a person, documenting a celebration, teaching a photographic process, or creating a print, I want the finished work to feel considered and genuine. For me, photography is about more than recording what was there—it’s about making an image worth returning to.
