My influences? Caffeine and comic books, music videos and little plastic toys.

**November is booked. Now booking December.**
I'm always well behaved. I'm almost always jacked up on coffee at a shoot. I swear like a sailor (I used to be a sailor). I have conversations with my equipment. No, my equipment does not answer back. I never ever do nudes on the first shoot. I tolerate escorts when they are tolerable.
If you have a personality, a sense of humor, and a sense of rhythm, you'll probably really have fun working with me.
If you're flaky, or a liar, or a complete raving lunatic, please just turn back now. I've already got one of those and I'm all full up.
I can't work free. But I work wicked cheap. And while I always prefer the money, I'll take things in trade. I like clothes. Most of my growing wardrobe is donated from other models in lieu of payment. Cool props, small pieces of furniture and any other strange or eclectic items are possible too. One model brings me mannequins and mannequin limbs....
I normally work with two exceptional makeup and hair specialists. Their rates are reasonable and always worth it. I'm not currently shopping for new MUA and hair stylists but I thank you for your interest.
I do all of my own retouch and Photoshop work. I'm not currently shopping around for someone to replace me.
I pretty much hate blank wall, no context, personality-free studio work. And by hate I mean I will go out of my way to avoid it unless you ply me with stacks of money.
I encourage you to check my references with the people I have worked with in the past.
Jayne Riot: "I work with Greg frequently, and every time is an unique adventure. He's fun to work with, and doesn't fart around about getting photos edited for you."
HiJinx Hooping: "I've had the priviledge of working with Greg on several occasions. Each shoot was not only professional but Fun! He's easy to work with, encouraging and inspiring. I can't wait to work with him again."
Jeselyn: "The first time I met Greg, I was completely comfortable shooting with him. Very professional but also a riot. Completely open to everything and willing to go down a dark path and try something new. With ideas to accompany everything! P.S.: Fastest editor in the east!"
"All the soul of the world is in what we throw away."
My work has been seen in Toyfare Magazine,
The Guardian Guide, Patriot Girls 2009 Calendar,
Hollybelly's "Long Road" music video, all across the interwebz at sites like
Rockin Bones,
Symbiote Studios and
Peril Unlimited and
The Consumerist and in a number of upcoming books that may or may not ever actually get published.
"We find it throughout history, don't we? Any time where talent met medium, man has been drawn to the female form for inspiration"
"The word 'art' is very slippery. It really has no importance in relation to one's work. I work for the pleasure, for the pleasure of the work, and everything else is a matter for the critics." -Manuel Alvarez

Testimonials:
Jayne Riot: My 'go-to' girl. If I was stranded on a desert island with only a camera and one model, she'd be it. She needs no direction and she always comes prepared to work it.
Devan the Impaler: No matter how my day, week, month has been up to that point when Devan walks in the door everything gets better. She's a sparkplug of fun and energy and always delivers the shot.
Spooky Digital Girl: Probably the most enigmatic model I work with regularly. She brings all the skills of a high-fashion runway model to her love of punk and alt culture.
Parvaneh: My good friend, make-up artist, hairstylist and kick ass model to boot. If you look at my port and say "I like your look" you're really complimenting her. She's my conceptual brains.
xSarah_Michellex: I love her. I almost drowned her and she still comes back.
True Story
Sahra S: I have FIVE Sarahs. I only have one Sahra. An exceptionally talented model and actress. Half of everything I know I learned from constantly working with her. Now she's in NYC. You should work with her.
Mary Shine: Just a stunning, creative, witty and flawless model. Tall and willowy. She's committed to the shot.
Jeselyn: If there is one model that's constantly pushing me to go further, it has to be Jeselyn. With her Billy Idol sneer and attitude to match, she inspires me to match the hardcore punk rock energy she brings to each and every shot. And she has the tallest boots of any model I know!
