David Gray was born and raised in North Carolina and trained at The Penland School and at The Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles. David moved to Canada in 1980 to pursue a career in commercial photography (most recently as an on-set still photographer for film and television.) Throughout his 37 years in photography, his fine art projects have remained his first love as he continues to refine his vision and exhibit occasionally in Los Angeles and Vancouver. Over the past two years, his personal work has taken a completely new direction –– a return to basics, to simple minimalist black & white studies of details in the natural world as far away as Africa and Scotland and as close as his own backyard. His latest series grew out of a fascination with the reflective, elastic properties of water and the abstract shapes of reeds, leaves and lily pads. What has remained constant in his work is a keen eye for composition, the interplay of light and shadow, and a reverence for the finely crafted print. David lives in Vancouver with his red-headed wife, their three red-headed children, two red-headed dogs and a red-headed cat. (He collects photographs as well.)
