Sophie Gray is a photographer born and raised in Glasgow, Scotland. She holds an MA in Photojournalism and Documentary Photography from the London College of Communication, as well as a BA (Hons) in Photography from Edinburgh Napier University. 

Sophie was introduced to photography at an early age. Fascinated with the camera’s ability to capture and immortalise fleeting moments in time, it has since become an invaluable tool for creative expression and a way for her to make sense of the world around.

Now based in Paris, France, her work explores themes of intimacy, identity, and the complexities of human experience. Her photography has been featured in notable publications such as PhotoVogue, BBC Online, Source Magazine, Docu Magazine, among others.
