Mitchel has done over hundred covers, a thousand editorial pages, ads, and web pages, created two best-selling coffee table books, had several NYC (and elsewhere) art gallery shows, and a bunch of videos – all with spectacular athletes, actors, and models.
But for this edition he is doing something different. Throughout his career, whenever he has been on location he has enjoyed shooting images of the places he has been – landscapes- and now he has decided to share a few. All the Bodies - 'In Action', 'At Rest', and 'Intertwined' are still his main focus, as are the portraits of celebrities, athletes, models, performers, and real people. And they are always viewable at the links below.
The 'Bodies in Action' photos feature pro athletes, film and TV stunt people, and spectacular dancers from great companies. Note that in each photo that appears to have more than one person in it, it is actually the same person in tandem with themselves.

Mitchel Gray: photographer, videographer, author. Bodies, action, portraits, story telling, and great lighting have always been Mitchel’s strengths, consistent through two award-winning, best selling books (over 150,000 sold, St. Martin’s Press), over 100 magazine covers - Men’s Health, Men’s Fitness, Muscle & Fitness, M&F Hers, Runner’s World, Mountain Bike, Bicycling, Fitness, and others, many hundreds of editorial and ad pages, electronic use everywhere, and fine art gallery shows both in the USA and Europe.
The Bodies in Action series features includes Olympians, professional athletes (MLB, NFL, NBA), professional dancers from the NYC Ballet and Metropolitan Opera, and even combat soldiers. There is a very different aspect to these photos that make them truly a “first” in the genre – in each photo in the series that appears to have two people in it, there is only one - the same person shot in opposition to themselves. Mitchel has also just created another unique series viewable on his website entitled Stunt Brawling, using incredible professional stunt people in action.

Bodies have always been Mitchel’s primary focus, whether 'In Action', 'At Rest', or 'Intertwined'. And sports bodies have always been one of his favorite subjects. The “Bodies in Action” series takes pro athletes, film and TV stunt people, and spectacular dancers from great companies and pits them against themselves in a style totally his own. A “Bodies in Action” book is on the way.
Other sports images concentrate on the intense competition and the opportunity to capture unique and beautiful moments that one cannot anticipate.

The new 'Bodies in Action' photos feature NFL and NBA players, and a Winter Olympics athlete, along with an up and coming, very special singer/song writer. The final image is a bit more personal but very consistent with Mitchel’s strengths. It harkens back to his lingerie days. Note that in each photo that appears to have more than one person in it, it is actually the same person in competition with himself. Of course, that is not the case with the last photo.

Mitchel Gray: photographer, videographer, author. He has to his credit two best selling books; 'The Lingerie Book' and 'Lingerie Fantasies' (St.Martins Press) and has illustrated many more, particularly in the active lifestyle/health/fitness field.
Mitchel has photographed over 100 magazine covers and thousands of magazine, advertising, and web pages. Eight of the images in this edition of Production Paradise are excerpts from the 'Bodies in Action' series, which has enjoyed two New York City gallery shows this year and will be going on the road shortly.
The series illustrates what the bodies of great athletes are actually doing while performing their sport, in an artful, dramatic style. The series includes Olympians, professional athletes (MLB, NFL, NBA), and professional dancers (NYC Ballet and Metropolitan Opera). There is a unique aspect to these photos that make them truly a “first” in the genre - each photo appears to have two people in it, yet there is only one - the same person shot in opposition to themselves. This approach allows Mitchel to illustrate two sides of the same body in one frame, seamlessly and within the construct of the action.
