my name is Gabe McClintock. i am an observer. i am a photographer. i am a dreamer. i am a traveler. i am a husband and most importantly i am a Dad. i shoot anything and everything. i capture the connections between people. the connections between families and the connection within yourself. i tell stories through imagery. i hope you like my stories enough to let me tell yours.
this is their story. this is my story.

when you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn - harriet b. stowe

two incredible people. a beautiful connection. her smile as bright as the lights of Vegas. and a humble and caring nature not seen in many. this is how i would describe David and Kim from Ohana Photography. with so much wrong happening to these two as of late, it was amazing to still see the smiles and hear the laughter they shared. it was a session that made me smile. a session that showed me what perseverance truly was. it was session that i will not soon forget. thank you Kimi and David for a wonderful few hours and i know everything will get better. and as the saying goes, you need rain to make a rainbow.

Ohana photographers - kim: Gabe, as we sit here in the doctors office reading your words tears are streaming down my face. With all that is happening especially with my daddy this session with you took mine and david's mind off all that is going on around us and gave us a couple hours to connect like all is right with the world. I realy fought David on getting pictures done "no matter how rad I think Gabe is, I don't want them!" well, I lost and am so happy I did. All I can say is, Gabe, you truly are amazing. Now my kids have amazing photos of their parents showing how truly in love and happy they are. Please excuse the babbling and poor grammer, david's the writer in this family and I'm sure he'll say something too. Stay amazing gabe, our ohana wish your family much love and blessings. Until next time. 03.11.2010

rich & heather // connection

there is magic in long distance friendships. they let you relate to other human beings in a way that goes beyond being physically together and is often more profound - diana cortes

September 20th 2007 was my very first contact with Rich and ever since we have shared our experiences, thoughts on life, on photography and watched each others families grow all through emails, blogs, twitter and facebook. it has been a wonderful few years and this year we were finally able to meet in Vegas for WPPI. both Rich and Heather are so humble and genuinely kind people who care about others in a way that many of us could learn from. they have such passion for each other, for their little girl Alana and the well being of others around them. it was truly an amazing few days spent together. we laughed, we had incredible conversations that the closet of friends would share and I was even able to have a connection session with them. thank you Rich and Heather for being….well…you. you two are remarkable people and i can’t wait till next time.

heather smith: Gabe! We love LOVE love the images! We cannot thank you enough for taking the time to do a connection session for us, nor can we quite explain how much we enjoyed meeting you! Thank you for capturing our love for each other and the fun that we have together. We look forward to many more emails, blog comments, tweets, and facebook messages with you, and ultimately, we hope to end up in Calgary for a visit :) THANK YOU. 03.10.2010

Deb Cull: These are really nice captures, Gabe. I'm disappointed that we didn't make it out to WPPI - we would love to do a connection session with you. Fantastic! 03.10.2010

Leslie Janous: WOW!!! These are truly stunning images. Their personality really comes though and the artistry of the photos is just, well, wow! I am thinking I need a trip to Canada... 03.10.2010

true Love is indescribable, yet self-explanatory - anonymous

when Ab and Sima asked if i would mind if we shot their connection in Los Angeles, i of course said “not at all”. an abundance of new locations, warmth not felt here locally in February and soft California light. all this plus a wonderful couple, i knew it was going to be amazing. so the days leading up to my flight, i had been watching the weather and all forecasts were calling for rain, rain and more rain. oh well, what can you do? the couple and their connection will still be same, locations will be new and rain in L.A. will still be warmer then sun back home. so you go with the flow. i landed and it was raining. we went out for dinner. still raining. go to bed. still raining. wake up. still raining. i watch a few satellite radar forecasts online and it seems that it’ll clear up. we were on the edge of the cloud. fingers crossed we headed out with hopes of clearing. and it did. the day was perfect. soft light, moody clouds and warm California sun. Ab and Sima you two were incredible and i thank you for going with the flow. for putting your trust in me. for driving around without question when i asked to go to O.C. then downtown, then Long Beach then to catch the sunset in Hollywood. it was a wonderful day and you two created some incredible images.

Sarah: How you come up with these ideas and "poses" I know not. They look so carefree, yet sweet. Romantic, yet serious. Stunning! 02.09.2010

Andrea Wiseman: You are an artist & a master at what you do. I am moved by every single image you take... None of your work is ever a repeat of a past session or another photographer, and to me...that says a lot about what kind of photographer you are. Just pure amazing. 02.09.2010

ali: gorgeous session. 02.09.2010

Eliud Matos: WOW! I love the way you see! 02.09.2010

Sergei Belski: Very beautiful work! Great job Gabe! 02.09.2010

Robert: Are. You. Kidding. Me? Wow! 02.10.2010

Ab Uppal: To be very honest – it’s hard to use words to describe the feeling Sima and I had after viewing the final images. Even when faced with adverse weather conditions and the 676 miles traveled you found a way to capture the “Moment.” No question – your drive and passion for the next shot is what makes you so successful. Thanks for the laughs Gabe – see you at the wedding!! 02.10.2010

Sima Modi: GABE. I can't wait to see the rest! We're so happy to know you're the one that is capturing our session and our special day! Thanks for coming out to Cali, not only did we have fun but the pictures are amazing:) 02.10.2010

Camilla Photography: Nice! Especially the sunset ones. SO beautiful! 02.11.2010
