Photography and being a photographer

Chris Wray Photography

A very long time ago, I used to run a photography business. Chris Wray Photography – original !

I used to enjoy it, but as with many things that started as a passion and then turned into a business, the joy went out of it.

Anyway, people still come looking at this site to find that photographer. I needed to put something up to let people know that I don’t really do this any more. Well, that’s not strictly true. Now I’m back to taking photographs for pleasure.

If you want to see what I shoot, why not follow me on Instagram.

Enjoy

Headshots, Weddings, Products

This was the mainstay of my work projects. I really liked the product work. Mostly studio based, fiddling with lighting and setups a lot and trying to get rid of reflections in shiny things. I did a lot of dresses for ecommerce and a lot of cutouts. These were the days before the ‘remove background’ button.
