HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE?
- THE WORK IS PRIMARILY SUBJECT-DRIVEN. ALL DECISIONS FLOW FROM THERE.
- THE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE ALL MADE IN RESPONSE TO A UNIQUE SUBJECT IN A PARTICULAR CONTEXT AT A SPECIFIC MOMENT IN TIME.
- THE THOUGHTFUL PREPAREDNESS THAT DEFINES MY WORKING METHOD ACTUALLY FACILITATES SPONTANEITY AND ALLOWS ME TO EMBRACE SURPRISE.
- I ALWAYS HAVE A GAME PLAN BUT VIEW IT MERELY AS A JUMPING-OFF POINT.
DO YOU HAVE PERSONAL WORK?
- WHAT YOU SEE HERE IS MY PERSONAL WORK.
- I DON'T SCREW ON ONE HEAD FOR "COMMERCIAL" WORK AND ANOTHER FOR MY "PERSONAL" WORK;
- THEY ALL DRAW FROM THE SAME WELL.
DO YOU HAVE A BOOK?
YES! "GREGORY HEISLER: 50 PORTRAITS" WAS JUST RELEASED BY RANDOM HOUSE IN OCTOBER 2013.
DO YOU TEACH?
- I'M PRESENTLY ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE AT THE HALLMARK INSTITUTE OF PHOTOGRAPHY IN TURNERS FALLS, MASSACHUSETTS.
- I ALSO TEACH AT THE MAINE MEDIA WORKSHOPS, SANTA FE PHOTOGRAPHIC WORKSHOPS, PALM SPRINGS PHOTO FESTIVAL. AND GULF PHOTO PLUS IN DUBAI.
- IN ADDITION, I TRAVEL TO SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY AS A CANON EXPLORER OF LIGHT.
ARE YOUR IMAGES AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE?
- PRINTS MAY BE PURCHASED DIRECTLY FROM THE STUDIO; PLEASE PHONE OR E-MAIL FOR DETAILS.
- IMAGES ARE ALSO AVAILABLE FOR RESALE THROUGH MY SYNDICATION AGENT CPI.
WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE?
- SINCE I DON'T WORK IN A FORMULAIC FASHION, I DON'T HAVE A SET "KIT" OF GEAR THAT I USE EVERY TIME. I'LL WORK WITH ANY EQUIPMENT THAT'LL GET ME EXCITED, FACILITATE MY CREATIVE PROCESS,
- NOT GET IN MY WAY, AND WILL BEST ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF THE SITUATION.
- IT'S ALL ABOUT THE LIGHT. SEEING IT, CREATING IT, CONTROLLING IT. AND USING IT EXPRESSIVELY.
