Gavin John born on 6th November 1979 at Llwynypia Hospital in South Wales, Rhondda Valleys. One of four brothers, Gavin has always had an eye for detail. His photography career started at the tender age of 12, where he attended Tonypandy Community College. Gavin John was the first pupil to achieve GCSE (A) grade and A level in photography.

Throughout his teenage years Gavin has had the chance to work with local photography legend John Newman. This is where Gavin recieved most of his training and confidence and looked up to John Newman and still does to this day.

Gavin decided to start his own business as a freelance photographer mainly focusing on weddings. He was always in full time employment and never had the chance to focus all his efforts on photography.

Early 2007 Gavin, still in full time employment, started Gloss Photography UK and opened his first studio in Pentre, Rhondda Valleys. After a thriving first year the business was hit by the credit crunch in 2008 and Gavin decided to close the studio and focus all his efforts on the web business.

A year later and it paid off, Gloss photography UK has stamped itself in the photographic industry as a main competitor and now in it's second year the company is remains strong. He can still be found living in Rhondda Valleys with his three year old son Bailey John. Remember that name...
