捕捉着波浪消失旅途中短暂的瞬间，Ray感觉带上相机漂浮在海里比陆地上的任何地方都更像家。定格海水与光线之间瞬息关系的意愿驱使他、激励他每天一早从黑暗中挣扎着起床，迎接海面上升起的太阳。

2007年他买来了第一架照相机，在家附近拍摄朋友们冲浪的情景，几年之后，在苹果公司、尼康公司、美国联合航空公司、五十铃、澳洲航空公司、巴塔哥尼亚、国家地理和红牛饮料举办的国际竞赛中，Ray独特的签名海景画均被采用。

Capturing the fleeting moments of a wave’s journey to dissipation, Ray feels more at home floating in saltwater with his camera than anywhere on land. Freezing the ephemeral relationship between water and light is what drives and inspires him to clamber out of bed in the dark each morning to celebrate the sun rising over the sea.

Having only bought his first camera in 2007 to shoot his friends surfing around home, within a few short years Ray progressed to having companies such as Apple, Nikon, United Airlines, Isuzu, Qantas, Patagonia, National Geographic and Red Bull using his unique signature seascapes across their international campaigns.

Ray has been the recipient of the prestigious ‘Follow The Light Grant’ (2009), placed 1st, 2nd & 3rd in the ‘Australian Surf Photo of the Year’ (2012), Semi Finalist in the ‘Moran Portraiture Prize’ (2012) named ’Emerging Sport Photographer of the Year’ (Capture Professional Photography Magazine 2013) Runner Up ‘Ocean Geographic – Pictures of the year’ (2013), Placed 1st in the ‘California Academy Of Sciences – Big Picture Awards’  (2014), Portfolio Of The Year ‘The Inertia’ (2014), ‘Overall Winner’ and ‘Best of Show’ in ‘The Ocean Art Photo Competition’ (2015), Shortlisted Finalist of The Terry Oneill Photography Award (2015), 1st Place ‘Australian Surf Photo of the Year’ (2015), ‘Juror’s Award’ – ‘The Center for Fine Art Photography – USA’ (2015), Shortlisted Finalist for the prestigious ‘Smithsonian – Annual Photo Contest’ (2015).
