Shray


FINALLY! I’ve been waiting for almost 2 months to share these images of a sculptor named Shray. I shot these for Luxury Living magazine back in July and have had to sit on them until the magazine came out.Shray is an artist based out of San Francisco (for now) but who does all of her bronze pouring here in Sactramento at the Art Foundry (http://www.artfoundryinc.com/).

On the day of the shoot I drove out with Assistant Jon to the Legion of Honor in San Francisco to meet Shray and her husband, Neil. Once we found each other, we entered the LoA and had 30 minutes to shoot . Because of the lack of time (and the fact that it was “Free Admssion” day to the museum and there were hundreds of people walking around) I shot all natural light. Unbeknownst to be, husband Neil was shooting shoot with his own camera. (You can see those pictures here: http://www.shraybronze.com/legion/index.html)

After we finished up there we headed over to their apartment to shoot some environmental portraits as well as some “action” shots of Shray working with some clay. They have a beautiful corner apartment overlooking the city and, while we were shooting, got to see the Parrots of Telegraph Hill flying right by the windows!

Here a a few pictures that didn’t run in the magazine - I have a slew of them and will they will probably end up seeing the light of day over at Shray’s website - http://www.shraybronze.com.
