About Me
My name is Mabry Campbell and I am a photographer based in Texas. My work is centered around fine art photography and commercial photography. I travel extensively and this is a significant source of my inspiration and work. I scout my locations and do not engage in propping or physically composing an image. I shoot the subject as it sits.
The fine art images that are on display in my galleries are available for sale and/or license. All prints from my galeries are high quality, archival, durable, and are a nice addition to your home accent or as an investment for your collection. For image licensing, please use the contact me link.
My aim is to inspire you to enjoy the world in a unique way, through new eyes, by capturing images of subjetcs that are around us everyday — to see and capture fine art from everyday subjects to award-winning subjects.
If it’s not difficult, then I do not trust it.
Images are created with a camera and a curious mind, not with software.
MY GEAR:
Lenses: Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM, Canon EF 200mm f/2.8L II USM, Canon EF 17-40mm f/4 USM, Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM, Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM, Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM, and Lensbaby Composer Pro.
Cameras: Canon EOS 5D Mark II, Canon EOS 20D, Canon PowerShot SD780 IS, and iPhone 4s.
I am a Getty Images Artist.
I am published through juror selection for the Plus One Collection Limited Edition book (http://plusonecollection.com/artists/), PlusOne Magazine Architectural Issue No. 1, websites and client-centered marketing materials.

Photgraphy Blog: Mabry Campbell Photoblog
it looks like the blog just started.. looking forward to more posts..
@Fiona.q Well, I’m moving it and rebuilding the entire thing from another wp blog of mine…the hard way.
I’ve always have more up-to-date shots on Flickr. http://www.flickr.com/photos/paramarphoto/
nice flickr. one point not to challenge, i’m just curious. i see many photos’ color are quite “rich” which make me feel a bit more than natural or reality.
@Fiona.q I’ve been putting up a lot of Instagrams and Hipstamatics recently, so those are going have high vibrance and saturation by default. The primary camera (non-iPhone) shots are basically untouched like I state. By the way, the photo “Overpasses” looks like I processed it a lot. In fact, I didn’t touch it at all in processing…just made the file smaller.:-) Hard to believe, but very true. I just put it up on this photoblog. Thanks for the comment.
I’m not a photographer by trade or by hobby, but I do enjoy a photo of beautiful scenery, nature, people, etc, and even try to capture some of my own…and I think your pictures are incredible…fantastic. Thank you for sharing.
@seekraz Thanks for the wonderful comments. I appreciate them tremendously!!
Hey Mabry (very cool name by the way),
Thanks for stopping by my blog and subscribing. I hope you enjoy it. I look forward to seeing your comments and suggestions.
Huffygirl
You have some awesome photography.
@adrianduque89 You’re very kind. Thank you.
Your photos are breathtaking! You have quite an eye!!
Thank you very much. You are too kind.
Your photos are fantastic!
Hey Mabry, I wanted to let you know that I named you for the Liebster Award. Check it out at http://photosfromtheloonybin.wordpress.com/2011/12/14/i-received-a-liebster-award-how-about-that/
I like your subtitle: “It’s not about the camera.” I mention technical details occasionally on my blog, but the emphasis is always on the pictures, no matter how they got made.

Mabry, I nominated you for the Versatile Blogger award in my post yesterday (http://bigpictureviewoftisha.com/2012/01/11/versatile-blogger-award/) because I like your perspective in your photos!
Thanks Tisha! I need to check out your other nominees, and pay it forward. Thanks for the kind comment about my photos and the Texas blurb…made me smile.
Hi Mabry, I incidentally came across your abandoned house picture and like it very much. Are you using HDR combinations to produce such high contrasts?
Best regards from Switzerland,
- Pierre
Hi Pierre. Actually this is my first attempt at HDR. I may do it more, not sure. So I took three exposures on burst, one at -1.5, one at 0.0 and one at +1.5. Used photoshop cs5 to merge them with the “merge to HDR pro” feature. The most interesting thing to me on this is that I thought the photo was junk until I pulled it into HDR and then it radically changed. It’s fun to me that way. Greetings back to you from Texas!
I enjoy your work.
Thank you Maggie!
I’ve been processing film and photographs since the days when “photoshop” meant a photo shop with a darkroom, film, and chemicals.
I am impressed with the way you simplify the process and focus on your subject. You have a remarkable eye for visual expression!

Are you sick of these yet?
This is easily the best photography blog I’ve seen, period. I like the way you allow the photographs to speak for themselves. I also enjoyed the titles. Fine work here, Mabry. Elisa sent me here. I am happy she did.
Thanks George. What a wonderful thing to say, and I’m thrilled you enjoy my work. I try hard to make the photos speak for themselves, so your comment is especially meaningful.
Mabry, I don’t know where you live or what you do for a living but your photography is simply stunning, you seem to be navigating among the best places on the planet! Either that or you are an extremely talented photographer, able to show the beauty of all you see, keep them coming!
That’s extremely nice of you to say. I work really hard at it, take my photography very seriously, and comments like yours help out when I get frustrated looking for “the good shot”. Many thanks.
You’re welcome.
Hi, I nominated your blog for a very inspiring Blog award :http://gfootsteps.wordpress.com/2012/05/28/very-inspiring-blogger-award/
As I student photographer I personally love you photography. I find it a great inspiration.
Thanks so much Jeremy. Very nice of you to say! Where can I see your work?
Hi Mabry ! Yet another one of my favorite bloggers that WP decided to stop my follow. Glad I was browsing around and rediscovered you. I bet I have a lot to catch up on, but am happy I’m back! Bella
Hi Bella. That’s happened to me too. Glad you’re back…hope I don’t disappoint
. -Mabe
Huh, glad to hear I’m not the only one with this glitch. Now time to browse to catch up.
You’ll probably hate me for this Mabe, but I nominated you to participate in this photo contest. Just for fun, and don’t feel committed. I figured you could knock this out in about 5 minutes with the portfolio you have. Bella

Thank you so much. That’s very nice to say. Thanks. – Mabry

Great work, great site. As a fellow Nishita user, I’d be interested to know how you arranged your grand gallery – excellent idea.
Thanks Mike. Well I don’t really like the built in galleries. So I made a new page (the gallery page) and “seeded” it with two images at once. That’s the trick. Then I just add to that page as I post. Again, upload straight to it. The difference between a post method and a gallery update is small but important. When you upload a new image to the gallery you just created, DO NOT click “insert”. Instead just click update gallery. In the options you can tell it how many columns an how to display the thumbs. WP recently made a change in Nishita and all images to a gallery are sized to a thumb. And so the site loads fast I upload smaller res photos to the created galleries. I hope this answered your question. – Mabry
Mabry, many thanks for this. It sounds pretty straightforward so I’ll give it a try. Clicking through a large gallery is a very nice way to view images – the more populated it is, the better, and there’s no need for a very specific theme. A Happy New Year to you and I look forward to seeing more of your work.
Mabry, did you adjust your settings via the CSS? The tiles for your grand gallery are so small and neat. Mine are rather large and unwieldy and there’s no obvious way to fix it…
I just liked about half a million pictures of yours -I’m addicted! They are truly astounding, I love every single one… it’s incredible just how good your work is! Pure art -that’s what I found snooping around your beautiful, beautiful blog. Ok, I’ll stop now, sorry -I’m just so stunned!
Love, Anna
Thanks so much Anna!
). Too nice. But I’m certainly glad you are enjoying my work. I usually post 5-6 images per week, so I hope you continue to enjoy. -Mabry
Hi Mabry. Congratulations! Through Harold’s Lens has just given you another richly deserved award, Blog of the Year 2012. I have just posted this on my blog: http://www.throughharoldslens.com. http://mabrycampbell.com: Professional photographer Mabry Campbell Photography inspires me with every image she posts. What a talent! Her…
Hello Mabryi! I don’t know if you have seen it but I come out with a digital magazine version of my blog Junsjazz Images & Inspiration of which four issues are already online. Its not a commercial magazine, just another online project of mine, an offshoot of my blogging. And it pales in comparison to the publications that have carried your work. I plan to release the latest issue by end of January and I’d like to devote a spread for a guest photographer to showcase his/her works (probably 5 to 6 images). Some photo blogger peers have already been featured in the past two issues. I would be honored to have your amazing works presented in Issue #5, if it is alright with you. Of course there will be backlinks to your blog and full credit to you for all your works that may appear in the magazine. I await your reply. BTW, Issue #5 has an all black and white photography theme, and it would be great to showcase some of your impressive black and white images. Here’s the link to my digital magazines: http://junsjazzimages.wordpress.com/digital-magazine/ Thanks!
Hi Mabry,
