Nature

<h1>I’ve always liked taking photos of small creatures. I don’t think insects are appreciated enough.</h1>
<h1>This is something I learned from my mom. </h1>
<h2>My mom is a biologist: raised on a farm in New Jersey, got a PhD in chemistry at Harvard, spends a lot of her time these days trying to explain to local politicians why building developments on the town water supply might have an impact on water quality. </h2>
<h2>She also loves bugs. Other kids’ mothers thought they were anywhere between a nuisance and a menace; my mom couldn’t wait to get them under a microscope.</h2>

<p>
  <h1>Bugs are endlessly diverse and endlessly fascinating. I like taking photos of them because these images capture details that most of us never get close enough to see.</h1>

Yucca Valley

<h1><em>GLASS HOUSE</em></h1>
<p>Nestled high in the Pinon Ridge area of Yucca Valley and tucked into the rock formations of the desert sits this masterpiece of a home. A warm, earthy yet contemporary retreat that is comprised of 92% glass and each room has movable sliding walls that open the home up to the desert. On three acres of blissful nothingness, with a luxe pool, outdoor shower and fire pit. </p>
<p><em>Link to property — <a href="https://bit.ly/3C2obEb">https://bit.ly/3C2obEb</a></em></p>

<h1><em>CASA BLANCA</em></h1>
<p>If you’re looking for a chic desert escape for a large group, this is your spot. With 6 bedrooms, a massive deck nestled in the rocks, a soaking pool and a hot tub, fire pit AND a hell of a view. Located in a neighborhood central to Yucca Valley and Pioneertown. Another J-Tree gem. </p>

<h1><em>LE CHACUEL</em></h1>
<p>While it’s been a while since we stayed at this property, I can’t not mention it in the context of sharing beautiful Joshua Tree homes. I’m not sure I’ve ever stayed in such a design forward space before, to the point that the most mundane household objects were somehow works of art in their own right. There isn’t a corner of this home that isn’t art. Plus, that saltwater pool with those views are hard to beat. </p>

Cabo San Lucas

<p><em>for Modeliste Magazine</em></p>
<li><em>on location in Cabo San Lucas</em></li>

<p>In July of this year I had the opportunity to go to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico to shoot my debut swimwear collection of HEROWN, the brand I recently launched, for a feature in Modeliste Magazine. But wait, it gets better. Not only did I get to shoot for Modeliste Magazine in my designs, I got to shoot alongside some of my best friends, also donning my designs. <em>Pinch me.</em> So I figured for my very first Mag, I should pay homage to these incredible photos of my incredible friends, taken in Cabo by Emma Bassil (she’s also incredible). </p>
<p></p>
<p>A huge thank you to Modeliste for this opportunity and to my beautiful friends for their unwavering support. I will link each style throughout!</p>

<h2><strong>About The Artist</strong></h2>
<p>As an emerging film photographer with a spark for ingenuity, Mike Gray enthralls the viewer with his cinematic stills, close up portraiture, and staged scenes. Although Gray recently began to focus more intently on photography, with the guidance of mentor Tyler Shields, he embarked on an exploration into the creative/artistic realm a decade prior. </p>
<p>As a young child, it was clear that Gray’s artistic aptitude necessitated further cultivation. Growing up in both Dallas and Houston, Texas, his time in the South facilitated a courageous mindset that has motivated Gray to foster the poignant art he makes today. As was his dream since high school, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in acting. Gray has made a name for himself acting in theatrical productions, film, tv and commercials. Alongside, he also dabbled in directing and editing. Self driven and determined, Mike Gray has solidified himself as a multifaceted creator.</p>
<p>With his preferred film camera, PENTAX 67, Gray captures his subjects with vivid intimacy.</p>
<p>He is best known for elevating people of color by drawing on historic events of the past to inspire his concepts. “The overall mission is to highlight my people and put them in positions they normally wouldn't be put in years ago.” In this vein, Gray molds his own narrative in each photo he takes, warping the past to weave a better future. His documentary work from the LA Riots in 2020, along with his recreations of historical moments (the Kennedys and Ruby Bridges) elevate ordinary people to compelling figures of power. Gray’s images, layered with shock value and meaning, enable him to comment on the political and social systems of our current and past generations. </p>
<p>Although Gray constructs images of his own blueprint, he is far from wedded to a singular artistic style. Although some of his work is staged, he allows his instincts to inform his creative side. Spontaneity — on the other hand —is a pivotal aspect of Gray's documentary artistry. Gray adheres to the constant forward-moving cycle of creativity, emphatically claiming, “progression is pivotal.” His work, while distinguishable in its deliberate thematic motives, is simple in its tangible rawness. With Gray, art is not sought synthetically, but veiled right before our eyes. Gray’s photography allows the viewer to step into an alternate reality, one seen through a learned lens.</p>
<p>Mike Gray is an artist to look out for. Charismatic charm exudes from his person, and his humble stance only further portrays his authentic approach. With so much achieved from the first year of his photography career, greatness awaits young Gray.</p>

<h1><strong>BLACK UTOPIA </strong></h1>
<h2>“The reasoning behind naming the series Black Utopia, is the perfection of the world I create for each image. My goal as an artist was to put African American people in positions you normally wouldn’t see them in during the respected time period. Beauty, Happiness, Vulnerability, and Freedom are four stand out words to describe the feeling of Black Utopia. I’ve never been a fan of how my people are portrayed publicly, which is why I plan to push the envelope &amp; continue to create for change. This is the world I envision for black people.” -Mike Gray</h2>

Toronto

<h1>We grow the most durning discomfort</h1>
<p>Lake Ontario, Toronto. </p>
<p>In January &amp; February, I was feeling pretty low. The lockdown, the darkness, the isolation was definitely taking a toll. ⁣</p>
<p>As someone who doesn’t have a typical work day, it was hard to find any flow. When you have no place to “be” the urge to just stay in bed is strong. ⁣</p>
<p>So I started getting-up early and headed down to the Lake at Humber Bay Park to catch the ⁣pre-sunrise light. My favourite light. ⁣</p>
<p>I took my cameras, more as an excuse to do something. Most of the photos weren’t that good. It didn’t really matter. It was nice to be there. ⁣</p>
<p>The bitter lake winds slap you in the face and wake you up better than coffee, which I had plenty of too. ⁣</p>
<p>On one of these days, I met a group of swimmers who let me take some photos. They told me that since the lockdown, they’ve noticed more &amp; more people jumping into the lake. Some of them drive down from an hour or more away. ⁣</p>
