ASMP Michigan in cooperation with Canon USA and the College for Creative Studies Photography Department is proud to present Canon Explorer of Light Photographer Gregory Heisler.
Gregory Heisler is a New
York-based photographer whose technical mastery and thoughtful responsiveness
allow him to creatively interpret and unusually broad range of subjects.
He is perhaps best known
for the more than fifty Time magazine cover portraits he has created, yet his
trademark editorial portrait covers and essays for Life, Sports Illustrated, Gentlemen’s
Quarterly(GQ), Esquire, ESPN, House and Garden and The New York Times Magazine
have received wide acclaim. He has
photographed award-winning advertising campaign’s for American Express, Benson
& Hedges, Dewar’s Profiles, Nike, Merrill Lynch & Zocor.
Gregory has been profiled
in magazine articles in Esquire, Communication Arts, Life and numersou industry
peridoicals. Among the kudos he has
received are the ASMP Corporate Photographer of the Year Award (1986), the
Leica Medal of Excellence (1988), the World Image Award (1991) and the Alfred
Eisenstadt Award (2000).
Gregory is a sought-after
lecturer and teacher at scores of international seminars. Nationally, he has taught at the
International Center of Photography (ICP) and The New School for Social
Research, the National Geographic Society, The Smithsonian Institution (Masters
of Still Photography Program), William A. Reedy Memorial Lecture series, and in
the Master of Fine Arts Program at New York’s School of Visual Arts.
While his principal focus
is portraiture, Gregory’s enthusiasm, curiosity, and drive bring him an
unconventional range of projects. His
love of the craft, manifested in his “hands-on” approach of every aspect of the
photographic process, keeps him intimately involved in the creation of his
imagery.
