Camera and Flask
The Photography of Steven Gray

About

Camera and Flask // Steven Gray: Photographer. Storyteller. Artistic journalism and storytelling around the globe. Based in Pensacola, Florida.

In Ireland.

I am a photographer and videographer with a sincere passion for the art and science of visual communication.

Since graduating from the University of West Florida in 2012, I have worked for and with top performers in both the real estate and hotel industries.

My experiences as a transaction coordinator, marketing manager and staff photographer for different companies taught me the value of client service, clear communication and only making promises I can keep.

My wife and I founded our company, Move Media, LLC, to provide commercial photography and video services for businesses, brands and individuals, and we pride ourselves on exercising high levels of detail and follow-up with our clients.

I am addicted to adding value, and I am always ready to serve.

 
Alexa, play ‘Catch Hell Blues’... ✨: @ajgalecki, training hard for @thekennedybar with a bottle of my favorite bourbon. 🥃 #thekennedybar #pensacola #wellerbourbon
They say print is dead, but people still need wall art, and I keep a few shots for sale online at @fineartamerica. Link is in my profile if you are so inclined...
That soft morning light. • I woke up this morning and realized I was caught up. Cue the anxiety of time on my hands. ✨: @a.gabrielle19 #model #upsideofflorida
Up and away. #italy #igitalia
The gang’s all here. Follow @thekennedybar to watch Pensacola’s cocktail scene level up in real time. #thekennedybar #craftcocktails #upsideofflorida #myloyatiesaretransparent
Like a honey bee, buzzing 'round a glass of sweet Chablis... #apalachicola #lostcoast
There was that one time... ✨: @allana_jadeee #tbt #upsideofflorida #model
It’s been a minute. I’m ready to go somewhere again.
Monday kicked off in high gear today with @longhollowcreatives featured in @pnjnews! Big thanks to @jrnpnj for the write-up and Tony Giberson for the pics of the gang. LHC is soft-launched this month. We have briefly moved the desks out for final staining and we should have all other rough edges sanded down velvety-smooth by February. We are taking applications for desk tenants now and on-site visits are by appointment only as none of the founders have regular hours there right now. You can find all the relevant facts via the link in my profile. 🤙🏻 #upsideofflorida #flowandcrash
Something’s coming. #TheKennedy
The sun has finally come back to Pensacola, and that spirit #FBF to a cold and wintry sunrise with @meganraeoflight. ✨ #sunrise #yoga #upsideofflorida
So pretty. These shots are from a recent shoot I did for a residential client here in the hometown. This literal million-dollar listing is currently listed by Pensacola’s own @montgomeryrealtors, if you happen to play in that sandbox and are looking for a new abode. #architecturalphotographer #commercialphotographer #pensacola #upsideofflorida #luxuryhomes
ICYMI, I recorded a podcast with the mastermind behind @pensacolavibes, the one and only manmythlegend, @_seanmullins. We talked about everything from photography and social media to the mindset that makes the photography pure. I love this guy. Link is in my profile to listen to the full episode on iTunes, Spotify and Google Play. This has been a brief break from @longhollowcreatives studioposting. #podcast #pensacolavibes #photographerlifestyle
We couldn't let 2018 close without one more big announcement. Since late October, we have been remodeling a historic property on the edge of Downtown Pensacola. Our goal was to create a space to meet the specific needs of creative freelancers and stage-one startups in our community with dedicated desks, meeting space and on-site production space. I am grateful and proud to say that, beginning the first week of January, @longhollowcreatives, a joint project between myself, @annierosecreates, @rachhogue and Cory Hogue, will be available as a new resource for Pensacola's working creative community. We aim to provide a new workspace and networking hub for photographers, videographers, designers and marketing professionals in 2019. Our social media pages are not populated yet, but the website is live: longhollowcreatives.com Happy New Year! #downtownpensacola #upsideofflorida #coworkspace #workhere
“Thus do I speak unto you in parable, ye who make the soul giddy, ye preachers of equality! Tarantulas are ye unto me, and secretly revengeful ones! But I will soon bring your hiding-places to the light: therefore do I laugh in your face my laughter of the height. Therefore do I tear at your web, that your rage may lure you out of your den of lies, and that your revenge may leap forth from behind your word “justice.” Because, for man to be redeemed from revenge— that is for me the bridge to the highest hope, and a rainbow after long storms.” - #ThusSpakeZarathustra, Friedrich Nietzsche Merry Christmas, and may it lead into a Happy New Year. Grateful for this past year, I’m taking a few days off to plan how I will rip the throat out of the new year. Dantès leaves the Chateau d'If in 2019.
Pax. #MerryChristmas
Final countdown. #christmasweek
PTO. The cows around here are jerks.
About the other night...
Happy Monday. Work week means drive time. Drive time means podcasts. ICYMI, check out podcast 012 with @infamous_drinks. Jeff came by the studio last week and we had a great discussion about his contributions to the first wave of craft bartending in our hometown, and his work and experiences in the service industry, in a storied career spanning almost two decades. You can find the Dark Horses Podcast on iTunes, Spotify, and, as of today, Google Play. Links are in my bio. Enjoy! #podcasting #pensacola #craftbartending #mondayflow
