Cray's "two minute portraits" are large-scale self-portraits, inquiring into the persistence of the photographic image. His series of unique collage prints, "travel diaries", are narrative/impressionist tours of the world and his mind.

His ongoing Unique Photographs project begun in 2008 has led to over 26,000 one–off photographs being placed around the world for people to find, sometimes furtively and often in the open. Some of these placements can be seen on the Instagram feed. Several books relating to the Unique Photographs project have been published including Unique Photographs, Changing The Guard, Conversations, and Cray Cray. Additional Unique Photographs are made for the book projects and exhibitions.
