GRAY? I thought your name was Graham?

It is.

Most who know me call me Gray – except for my wife.

Graham works better shouted, apparently.

Fifteen years or so ago I was unable to secure the grahamhughes.com domain.

Instead I ended up with gray-hughes.com

It was my wonderful agent, Susie Babchick at RSA Films Photo & Art, who had the idea to go for the professional name change.

So, that’s the story of that…

I began taking photographs when I was seventeen – my first picture was published a year or so later.

It was a half page colour picture in TODAY with a picture exclusive byline, and it was completely out of focus.

Thirty years on and I’m still shooting.

Thank god for auto focus.
