Orchid photographs by Gary Yong Gee |
|
 I
have been
photographing species orchids for around 35 years and have more than
30,000 colour slides and over 65,000 digital images. I have
also been
writing a regular monthly article for the Orchid Species Bulletin for
that time. The Bulletin is published by the Orchid Species
Society that is
based in Brisbane, Queensland. My article normally
comments on
the plants displayed at their meetings. This has also resulted in my
giving many talks to orchid societies and others over the years, and a
selection of them is listed on my Talks
page. There
are now over 9,500 of my photographs on this website, representing over
4,700 species in over 640 genera. Some of them accompany the notes on
my Articles page but
most are in links from the digital
images
page. If you would like any
further information or higher resolution images, let me know.Some of
my
photographs are of displays at various orchid conferences, including
each of the last ten World Orchid Conferences (Tokyo, Auckland,
Glasgow, Rio de Janeiro, Vancouver, Kuala Lumpur, Dijon, Miami,
Singapore, Johannesburg
and Guayaquil). I
also have over 250 orchids photographed in 3 dimensions (in other words
two slides which give a 3-dimensional image when viewed together).Over
2,500 of the
slides have been scanned as digital images, and together with the
digital photos they comprise over 4,800
species in over 640 genera, and
the list is growing. Many of my photos have appeared
in books and magazines and
were used on the Orchidopedia CDrom which Greg Steenbeeke and I
produced some years ago (which is now no longer available). I am
happy to come
and give a talk to an
orchid society using my
photos for illustration
purposes. But be aware that I am based in Brisbane, Australia,  so
you
may have to pay fares for overseas trips! I should also point out this
is only a hobby (some might say an obsession!) as I am not a
professional photographer and fit all this, and growing orchids in my
orchid house, in between part time work and having a life!On my links page
you will find links to a number of sites, particularly in Australia and
New Zealand, which have information about species orchids, as well as
some conferences and other sites with orchid species photographs.By all
means contact me,
particularly if you have
any suggestions or corrections to
the information on my site. Bear in mind that all the text and
photographs on these pages are copyright. Let me know if you would like
to use any of my images.These
pages were
last updated in November 2020.Please come back again soon!
