Outdoor Advertising Campaigns & Visual Storytelling in Buffalo, NY


 

Outdoor Advertising Campaigns

Cinematic visuals that connect through the wild.

In today’s crowded digital world, connection happens when brands move beyond promotion and tell a story. At GML Photography, I specialize in outdoor advertising campaigns that use adventure photography and videography to capture real, powerful moments in nature—moments that resonate.

From climbers at the summit to campers tending a fire at dusk, I craft cinematic visuals that immerse viewers in a lifestyle, a mindset, and a movement—not just a product.

Adventure-Driven Visual Storytelling

Your audience doesn't just want to see your gear—they want to feel what it means to use it. Adventure photography and videography bring your brand to life in rugged, authentic settings that reflect endurance, freedom, and connection to the outdoors.

This is storytelling that:

  • Sparks imagination

  • Evokes emotion

  • Builds loyalty through authenticity

Whether it’s a trail runner cutting through early morning fog or a hiker pausing at a cliffside vista, every frame is designed to engage and inspire.

What I Offer

📸 Adventure Photography for Brands

High-quality, on-location stills created in natural landscapes across Western New York, Buffalo NY, and beyond. These images are perfect for:

  • Outdoor product launches

  • Apparel lookbooks

  • Website hero images

  • Social media campaigns

  • Print & billboard advertising

Each shoot is crafted with brand alignment, mood, and terrain in mind—no cookie-cutter visuals, just real people in real places.

🎥 Adventure Videography & Cinematic Shorts

Video brings your story to life with motion, sound, and atmosphere. I create short films and clips that reflect your brand’s values and message.

  • 15–90 second ad reels

  • Behind-the-scenes lifestyle shorts

  • Product in-use demonstrations

  • Campaign highlight films

All filmed in rugged outdoor environments with dynamic movement, natural lighting, and a documentary approach to authenticity.

Featured Campaign Styles

  • Outdoor Apparel (jackets, boots, base layers in real trail conditions)

  • Adventure Gear (packs, tents, cooking gear, headlamps used at camp or on-trail)

  • Health & Wellness Brands (supplements, hydration gear, activewear)

  • Travel & Tourism (state parks, adventure tours, outdoor lodging experiences)

These campaigns don’t feel like ads—they feel like adventure. The goal? To immerse your audience in a lifestyle they want to be part of.

Why Work with Gabriel?

I'm Gabriel, and I live and breathe this work. I’m not just a photographer—I’m an outdoor storyteller. I hike, camp, run, and explore the same trails your audience does. That lived experience shows up in every shot I take.

My approach is cinematic but grounded—authentic moments, emotional visuals, and a strong narrative thread. Whether you need a full campaign or a smaller social media launch, I bring creativity, strategy, and a deep respect for the landscape.

📍 Based in Buffalo, NY and working across Western New York and select travel locations.

Locations That Inspire

I’ve created content in some of the region’s most striking landscapes:

  • Watkins Glen State Park – iconic gorge trails and waterfalls

  • Letchworth State Park – deep canyon views and moody forests

  • Cook Forest & Allegheny region – soft light and mossy backdrops

  • Zoar Valley & Niagara Gorge – rugged, lesser-known wild spaces

  • Plus remote locations throughout the Adirondacks and Finger Lakes

Every place brings a different mood—whether bold and dramatic or quiet and contemplative.

The Process

1. Creative Planning

We align on your campaign goals, story arc, brand tone, and audience. I help scout locations and build visual concepts that bring your message to life.

2. Production Day(s)

On-location shooting with talent (yours or sourced), gear staging, and lighting based on time of day and weather. Flexible to chase golden hour or foggy mornings.

3. Delivery

High-resolution image sets and video files optimized for web, print, and social. Editing includes cinematic color grading, sound design (for video), and optional licensing.
