Personal life

Gray Malin was born in Dallas, Texas, and attended Emerson College in Boston, Massachusetts. He majored in Marketing and received a minor in photography. He currently lives in the West Hollywood area of Los Angeles, California with his husband, dog and twins, Max and Dove, in a renovated 1930s bungalow.[5]

Career

After moving to Los Angeles for an internship at Paramount, Malin started his business selling photographs from a small booth at a West Hollywood Sunday swap meet near his current home.[6] In 2009, he attracted public attention with his Prada Marfa series, which was a sequence created with the assistance of the local township in Marfa, Texas.

Malin has collaborated with global brands such as Veuve Clicquot, Sperry Top-Sider, and Le Méridien Hotels & Resort. Malin's first monograph, BEACHES, documented five years of work spanning twenty cities over six continents.[1]

Other ventures

In 2015, Gray Malin partnered with international hotel chain Le Méridien for The Follow Me Campaign. The exhibition will feature Malin’s photographs as part of a video installation viewable in hotel lobbies worldwide. The installation features stills by Gray Malin, as well as video footage of him at work. Destinations seen in installation include Bhutan; Dubai; Split, Croatia; and Seychelles.[7]

Malin has also partnered with Sperry Top-Sider to create a spring shoe line featuring his photography,[8] and with Veuve Clicquot, to produce original prints "inspired by Veuve Clicquot's brand essence."[9]
