Mark Gray is an Internationally recognised photographic artist. Completely self taught, he specialises in stunning panoramic photography of fine art landscapes from Australia and beyond.
I've been looking at the work of Mark Gray. I love the photographs on Marks web site. He mostly does panoramic photographs. He uses a ,medium format panoramic film camera, which allows him to take photos up five meters wide.
With no previous training he has managed to create a hugely successful photography business. From displaying a range of high quality panoramic photographs for sale, to offering private tuition, passing on his knowledge to other people.
This is the type of photography i hope to be doing in the future. I like the idea of travel photography. Getting to see the world is one of my dreams. Id love to be able to photograph these places for a living. The different cultures and landscapes, id very much like to be able to go to these places, and capture them on camera.
I realize Mark's work is not quite travel photography per-say, he doesn't capture the culture in his images, more the landscape. Its coincidence he lives in Australia. It just happens Australia is very high up on my list of places to go. Im planning on going in the next couple of years. If i am able to take even one photograph like Mark, then i will be very happy.
When i eventually get a tripod, i'm going to try and create a panoramic photograph. I have a vague idea of what i'm going to photograph. I'm just going to try around with different techniques, see what works.
Most if not all of Marks images are taken at sunset or sunrise. When the light is best for landscape photography.
