Stephen G. Donaldson photography inc.

Stephen G. Donaldson photography inc. Stephen G. Donaldson photography inc. is a multi-faceted photography services business. All of these books are available throughout the United States and Europe.

I have specialized in travel stock photography for the book publishing, magazine, advertising and commercial markets since founding Stephen G Donaldson photography in 1995. My business, however, casts a broad net and incorporates private and commercial aerial photography services, architectural photography, professional and celebrity portraiture, travel and landscape fine art sales, motivational s

peaking, and social events. For more comprehensive information about all aspects of my work, and to view thousands of examples of photography from around the world, please visit my web site at http://www.sgdphoto.com

I have produced eight solo photography books (five of them educational books) including "The Berkshires" (2007), a 128-page coffee-table style book of imagery from Berkshire County Massachusetts, and "Barns of the Berkshires", (March, 2009). My third book of photography, the groundbreaking "Along Route 7: A Journey Through Western New England" was released in October, 2009 and has received widespread critical acclaim. The 330-image book explores the vast cultural, historical, recreational, and visual treasures that Route 7 offers those who travel this great American byway. In 2013 Stephen G. Donaldson photography, inc. assumed ownership of "The Berkshires" and became the publisher of a Revised 2nd Edition of the book which has over 40 new photographs and 16 pages added to the book. During his tenure as Governor of Massachusetts, Deval Patrick gave "The Berkshires" as an Official Gift of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts to V.I.P's and dignitaries who visited the Statehouse, and when he traveled on economic and goodwill missions for the Commonwealth. My stock photography catalog contains over 250,000 images with a geographic emphasis on New England, Western Europe, South East Asia, and South & Central America. My images have appeared in over 30 other books; several nationally circulated periodicals; travel magazines including Sherman's Travel Magazine, Sojourns and Endless Vacations; newspapers, including the New York Times and The Financial Times of London; regional lifestyle and business magazines including Bloomberg Business, Berkshire Living, and Berkshire Magazine; and on calendars, annual reports, and billboards across the United States and throughout the world.

"The Berkshires" is the only available photography book of Berkshire County and it makes a great holiday gift both for people living in The Berkshires and for those who aren't here year-round but love this beautiful corner of the world.

Two weeks until our Thanksgiving Open House Reception on Saturday the 29th. Mark your calendars. In the meantime, Gallery SGD is open for all of our regular scheduled hours. Today I want to feature a special image that always turns heads. This is called "Basilica San Marco Through Piazza San Marco" (Venice, Italy). This image was captured one evening in 2009 when Sarah and I were on a meandering walk from the Academia Bridge to Piazza San Marco and, as we entered the cloisters from Calle Seconda de l"Ascension, I was instantly struck by this special vantage point incorporating the Basilica, the Campanile, and the cloistered perimeter of the Piazza. This image is currently on display in Gallery SGD as a 16 x 24 matte-finish dye-transfer print on aluminum in a natural cherry wood float frame. Come on in and check it out.

It is with equal, but only relatively small, measures of sadness and regret that I have come to the decision to close Gallery SGD on January 1st, 2026. This past year has been a significantly challenging one, and the prevailing unease and uncertainty in the economic climate has led me to lose confidence in the prospect of a meaningful recovery for Gallery SGD in 2026. NEVERTHELESS, I am approaching this readjustment of my business with a very positive outlook, with a sense of real accomplishment, and with great pride, knowing that I opened Gallery SGD in 2020, at the peak of the second wave of the Covid Pandemic, and spent the past five fulfilling and profitable years enjoying a great privilege few artists ever get to experience- owning and operating a fine art gallery entirely dedicated to my work. Essentially, Stephen G. Donaldson photography is simply reverting to the way it operated successfully from my home base here in Great Barrington for the first 26 years of its existence, and I will continue to sell my art, attend regional art shows and festivals as a vendor, and take corporate assignment and private commission work across the same broad spectrum of photography work disciplines. Most of all, at this time I want to thank all of the very loyal friends, fans, family, and clients of Stephen G Donaldson photography and Gallery SGD whose support and encouragement have made this modest endeavor of mine such a rewarding experience, not just for the past 5 years, but ever since I put my first foot forward in 1995. I am more grateful to all of you than you could possibly imagine because you have fueled the journey on which I have been able to pursue my wildest career dream. And that journey will continue. Finally, I want to express my deepest gratitude to my landlord of the past 5 years, Paul Joffe, whose vision and determination to create The Flying Church Building made it possible for Gallery SGD to have such a great home. I am planning two reception events at Gallery SGD that I invite you to attend. One will be, appropriately, a Thanksgiving event on Saturday, November 29th, and the other will be a 5th Anniversary celebration for Gallery SGD on Saturday, December 20th. I truly hope to see you all there.

This Wednesday, December 20th, marks the third anniversary of the opening of Gallery SGD.

For a large portion of the last three years Covid-19 put a damper on social gatherings, so I have never hosted an event in the gallery since our opening.

However, this Friday, December 22nd, from 5:00pm - 7:00pm, we invite you to a long-delayed "opening" reception at
Gallery SGD. Please come and share in some refreshments and cheese plates and help spread some holiday cheer with us.
