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 on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, Australia. 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 605 International Awards to date. My work is collected in 35 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.
