GREG THOMASON
Greg believes a photographer influences the environment he or she is observing. He uses his experience in dealing with people to develop rapport and capture the personalities of his subjects. Instead of trying to take a journalistic approach, Greg understands and embraces the opportunity to affect the scene and make photographs.
Use of light, shadow, and color characterize Greg’s style. His dramatic lighting makes much of his work easily recognizable.
Greg is a commercial portrait and headshot photographer based in Nashville, Tennessee, where his clients include CEOs, business owners, and actors. His photographic philosophy centers around his belief that if someone agrees to be photographed, then the photographer has the responsibility to make the best photograph possible of that person. This is evident in the way Greg connects with the subjects of his photographs, whether in his studio, or in a village in Kenya. To him, the connection is paramount to making a memorable portrait.
