At the end of this month, Immagis Art Photography in Munich will present a selection of these exhilarating portraits from his 400-page retrospective that he released last year. includes all the aforementioned big stars. But how did Greg manage to gain access back in the day? "My career -- it kind of snowballed. It all happened so fast. And I was young when a lot of those pictures were taken. But early on, getting the likes of a De Niro or a Brando or a Pacino—you'd never know what they'd be like and how that work relation would evolve.
That atmosphere of trust has enabled him to photograph once-in-a-lifetime private moments -- ones that he didn't necessarily anticipate getting on film. An image of Keanu Reeves, for example, naked but for his necklaces and the towel he's using to dry himself with, stands out as a testament to this intimacy. And, the behind-the-scenes story of his encounter with Keanu demonstrates just how much Greg was sensitive to the energy of the actor on set.
Other personal highlights include working with a young Leonardo DiCaprio from the beginning of his career --"He was so free and open" -- and shooting Andy Warhol, who appeared in a popular, long-running ad campaign Greg shot for l.a.Eyeworks. Then there's Grace Jones, who became a great friend of his over the last 40 years.
