Gregory’s unique photographic style of coverage of the New York/Hamptons charitable scene has also appeared in a host of significant publications, including Avenue, Quest, New York Social Diary, Hamptons & Gotham Magazine as well as Hamptons.com among others. Gregory loves people and it shows in his work. More than a photographer Gregory is a social artist, uniquely skilled at catching people at their best. Gregory’s style is not paparazzi like but rather permission based, whether taking photos of Rudy Giuliani, Michael Bloomberg, Ethan Hawke, Russell Simmons, Donald Trump, Curtis Sliwa, Amanda Hearst or other politicos and socialites. He enjoys meeting and getting to know you, and will NEVER embarrass you or catch you looking less than your very best. Gregory, aka “the Prince of the City”, is an earnest, humble but deliberate craftsman who mingles with Manhattan’s elite while patiently waiting and angling for the perfect shots, shots that make the powerful comfortable and respectful of his efforts while capturing the inherent beauty of the most sophisticated events. Few photographers combine Gregory’s technical proficiency with his artistic and creative abilities and unique disarming persona. Simply put, once the Prince has you on his radar screen, you will want him on your speed dial in your blackberry. Gregory’s clients whether institutions or individuals become his friends. Gregory is trusted to maintain the privacy of his clients and has shot in some of the most elite venues and exclusive private residences in New York City, the Hamptons, Aspen and Greenwich. In fact, many of his clients do not seek press but seek beautiful memories of their private events which never land on the pages of any magazine.
