Michael Grecco is considered one of the world’s top portrait photographers. His work is seen in leading magazines such as Time, Forbes, Rolling Stone, Esquire, People and Entertainment Weekly, and he is a member of Canon's elite "Explorers of Light." Known for his ability to simplify the complexities of professional photography, Grecco's lectures have become as popular as his photographs.

Using visual examples from his dramatic and conceptual portraits, Grecco will explain the elements of creative imagery, show how he developed his style, and tell you how you can develop yours. He will also answer questions about the business of photography. In addition, Grecco will explore the principles revealed in his just released book, "Lighting and the Dramatic Portrait," using illustrations from the book and personal projects. There will be an opportunity to personally greet the author, and have his book signed, afterwards.
