Gary Gray – Artist Statement.

I am a photographic artist. I work primarily with Canon digital single lens reflex camera systems. My primary visual medium for my captured images are photographic prints, however, I do show my work in digital format on the internet.

I took an interest in photography at the age of 12 when my father introduced me to 35mm cameras. In high school I was involved with the student camera clubs, primarily shooting and developing black and white 35mm film. During a 6 year stint in the US Navy, I continued to explore photography at an amateur level, learning more about 35mm stereoscopic slide photography using a camera my father had given me.

In 1981 I began a career as a Satellite Communications and Radio Engineer with The Wall Street Journal. I was quickly introduced to the world of graphic arts where I worked at an engineering level with digital imaging and reproduction systems, including large format film cameras, drum scanners and flatbed laser imaging systems. I also worked at an engineering level with graphic arts in the pre-press department working with lithographic systems and offset printing presses.

I retired from The Wall Street Journal in early 2007 having worked my way through just about every conceivable graphic arts, technical and management position possible at the newspaper.

I founded my photography business in 2006 and have worked as a Landscape, Nature, Wildlife, Wedding, Event and Portrait Photographer. I have photographed many events hosted by Fortune 500 companies, the US Government, The Denver Fire Department and countless private individuals from home makers to corporate executives. I am also a Master printer with over 30 years of experience in all aspects of digital image reproduction.

At the present time, I am exploring wildlife photography in greater depth and have had the pleasure of getting to know and work with many of Colorado’s best wildlife photographers. I continue to do nature and landscape photography as well, as this is my first love. Artistically, I’ve been moving away from studio based people photography. I am also doing less wedding and event photography as I feel that my motivations are shifting away from commercial photography and more towards personal artistic satisfaction. I still find myself very interested in candid street photography as a genre and continue to explore opportunities when they arise.
