About Artist

Mark Gray

I'm a passionate landscape photographer with a love for the outdoors and sharing the beauty of God's creation through my photography. I've been a professional for over 20 years and with my amazing team, currently operate our retail gallery in Victoria, Australia. Originally from Melbourne but now settled with my family on the Sunshine Coast, I specialise in traditional landscapes but also enjoy aerial photography from helicopters, planes and drones. Particularly, colourful abstracts of salt lakes, mines and braided rivers. I've never been interested in how a camera works; for me it's just a tool that allows me to capture special moments in time and share them with the world. As a follower of Jesus Christ, I believe that my work in a testament to the truth and power of God and his incredible creation. Through the ongoing support of my print collectors and workshop participants, I am incredibly grateful to be able to travel extensively almost year round and enjoy striving to capture new and original work whenever possible. I have received 340 International Awards to date. My work is collected in 32 countries world-wide. I have operated 4 retail galleries across 3 states of Australia. I have worked with many well-known brands including Microsoft, Corona Beer, BMW, Mitsubishi Motors, Fox Studios and Australian Geographic to name a few.
