A little Q & A with Greg
Is this your primary job?
yes its the only thing i do
What do you enjoy doing outside of photographing beautiful women?
hiking, traveling, art, exploring, road trips
How did you get your start?
i started assisting pro photographers in O.C. and L.A., i did that for 6 years while gaining clients and starting to shoot on my own.
What is your most prized piece of equipment for photography?
Has to be my Canon 5d camera
What is most painstaking about your job?
photoshop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What is the most daring or experimental shoot that you’ve ever done that turned out great in your eyes?
not necessarily daring, but my favorite shoot was shooting in Costa Rica with 3 great models and coming away with some of my best work
Who is the one model you enjoy working with most, and why?
i honestly can not pick one model, the ones i shoot with the most are the ones i like working with, simple but true.
For most people, being a photographer affords you the opportunity to be very close to models, any encounters/experiences you mind sharing with us that would never have happened if not for this type of networking?
Just the fact of making some great friendships along the way. Also seeing models blow up after featuring them with my photography, thats very gratifying.
Whose work do you enjoy outside of your own?
there are alot of great shooters out there, like antoine verglass, bruce talbot, definitely keeps you humble.
Why should models choose you for a shoot?
EXPERIENCE. also the quality and time i put into my work
