FameRank: 5

"Eric Gray" was a stills photographer whose work was featured in Life Magazine.

His career was mainly in the British film industry and it and was on two Anthony Asquith pictures, Shooting Stars 1928 and A Cottage on Dartmoor 1929, that his reputation began to emerge.

Gray operated his own studio at 17 Rupert Street close to the London Trocadero/Trocadero in central London between 1931 and 1940 and his camera studies included Chili Bouchier and Harry Milton.

During the war he joined the Royal Observer Corps from 1939 to 1945.

In 1941 Gray was hired as a stills photographer on Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's One of Our Aircraft is Missing and a selection of these photographs was used to promote the film in Britain and America. Four years later, Gray was again working with Powell and Pressburger. A Matter of Life and Death (US title Stairway to Heaven) was filmed at Denham Studios and on location in Devon. Gray was the main stills photographer working behind the scenes on location at Saunton Sands in Devon, while Fred Daniels focused on gallery portraits in the studio. Both Daniels and Gray were credited as creating the most iconic images of the wartime romantic drama starring David Niven and Kim Hunter. Their work was published in the film classic series.

I just really believe that this is my time to step up and do what I've got to do. It's truly a blessing and an opportunity that I've been waiting for.

I feel great. I feel confident. There's really no added pressure. The only pressure that's going to be on me is the expectations of myself. I have high expectations of myself to do well, to do very well.

It's going to be a very good challenge, from all of the sudden not being able play due to injury to playing a team that passes 60 or 70 times a game.

It's been a little up-and-down season with injuries or whatnot, but through it all, it's all worth it.

Doing Civil War re-enactments is something I live for. To have one in my backyard is great.

It's really nice to play for a guy like him.
