About Me

Learn how I photograph Maine’s landscapes, wildlife, portraits, and sports with heart.

A dramatic photographic realism scene of a snow-dusted Maine mountain ridge in midwinter, jagged granite outcrops poking through wind-sculpted drifts of brilliant white snow. Stunted evergreen trees, heavy with frost, cling to the slope, their deep green branches bending under the weight. Low, fast-moving clouds pass just above the ridge, opening to reveal a crisp, cobalt-blue sky and distant, rolling peaks fading into pale blue haze. The image is lit by strong, mid-morning winter sun, casting long, sharp shadows that emphasize the structure of the terrain. Captured from a slightly low, wide-angle perspective, the foreground rocks loom with crisp detail while the receding ridges create layered depth, conveying a rugged, energetic, and adventurous atmosphere fitting for a professional Maine landscape portfolio.
A high-energy photographic realism capture of a crashing Atlantic wave against a sheer granite cliff on the Maine coast during a winter storm. The wave erupts into a towering plume of white spray, suspended mid-air with countless detailed droplets, while darker, churning water swirls below. The rock face is dark, slick, and striated, glistening with moisture. The sky above is heavy and slate-gray, with bands of mist and distant, obscured headlands. Harsh, storm-filtered daylight slants from one side, creating dramatic contrast between luminous foam and shadowed rock. Shot from a medium-telephoto, slightly low angle to amplify the wave’s power, with a fast shutter feel and crisp focus freezing every droplet. The mood is intense and dynamic, highlighting Maine’s raw ocean energy for a sports and action-oriented portfolio section.

Maine Stories in Focus

I’m Justin Gagne, a Maine photographer drawn to rugged coasts, quiet woods, and hometown fields. I chase honest moments—whether it’s breaking surf, a wary loon, a senior portrait, or Friday night lights—and turn them into lasting, local stories.
