Mitchel Gray New York sports photographers
Mitchel Gray has photographed over 100 covers, over 1000 editorial pages, ads, and web pages, created two best-selling coffee table books with St. Martin’s Press, has been featured in several NYC (and elsewhere) art gallery shows, and a bunch of videos.
The body has been Mitchel’s primary focus, in motion, at rest, intertwined, and both male and female. Portraiture is a close second, with a great range of subjects – celebrities, athletes, models, performers, and real people.
His 'Bodies in Action' series features 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. A “Bodies in Action” book is in the works. Follow Mitchel on Instagram and Facebook to see the latest work.

Keith Barraclough New York portrait photographers
Keith is a New York-based studio and environmental portrait photographer best known for his vision and his personable and collaborative approach to working with a wide range of clients. His attention to detail and compelling yet subtle style draws the viewer emotionally to his subjects.
His signature personal project, The Redhead Project, showcases his vision, versatility and affinity for creatively collaborating on set to bring concepts to life, authentically capturing his subjects' personalities while telling their unique stories through fresh and stylised imagery.
A daily source of inspiration for Keith is capturing his regal, sporty, social black labrador retriever, Kuma.
"Keith’s honesty and ability to connect with his subject results in pictures that jump off the page. There is a creative vibe that he fosters, but in a very simple way. He doesn’t spend hours taking pictures aimlessly. He knows what he wants and how it looks in his mind, and positions you in a way that you feel part of the process to articulate his vision." Jayce Bartok - producer / director.
