Flavorwire

Although NYC-based English photographer Shane Gray’s photographs, which we recently spotted over at Booooooom, are shot in broad daylight and without special effects, there’s something magical, often almost surreal about the scenes he captures. ”Through the lens,” Gray writes, “I continue to witness our changing world amidst the enlightening, bland and random across the gamut of our existence with a continuing fascination fo the human predicament and different environs.” Sure, but he also has a knack for color and, it seems, a habit of being in the right place at the right time, which always helps. Click through to see a few of our favorite snaps from Gray’s New York photographs, and then be sure to head over to his website to check out a vast wealth of his work.
