Rachel Gray is a Malibu and Los Angeles-based portrait and lifestyle photographer celebrated for her ability to "conjure vulnerability without imposition." With 15 years of experience capturing the essence of human connection, Rachel brings a depth of artistry and empathy to her work.

Born and raised in Malibu, Rachel's roots are deeply intertwined with the area's natural beauty, history, and resilience through its community and natural disasters.

Rachel earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) degree in photography from the University of Washington, where she created conceptual art and explored innovative approaches to storytelling (ie. performance, documentary, immersive). Her journey with photography began even earlier, in high school, with black-and-white analog photography (OG magic) through an elective class (those were the days)

Beyond photography, Rachel has made notable contributions to the entertainment industry, including spearheading Netflix's first sustainable production program—enabling all productions in US & Canada to donate food, reducing waste and addressing food insecurity. As a board member of the American Photographic Artists (APA), she champions community engagement, lifelong learning, and creating meaningful experiences that inspire the industry.
