See TIME Magazine Photographer Gregory Heisler here in Seattle on May 29
Biznik member James Anderson forwarded this announcement to me this morning, about an event that a lot of the photographers (and photography lovers) among us will find interesting. Bonus: he’s offering $5 off the ticket price for Biznik members.
Gregory Heisler is a New York-based photographer who is renowned for his technical mastery and thoughtful responsiveness. His enthusiasm, curiosity, and drive are manifested in his hands-on approach to all aspects of the image making process.
His iconic portraits and innovative essays have often graced the covers and pages of many magazines, including LIFE, ESQUIRE, GENTLEMEN’S QUARTERLY, GEO, SPORTS ILLUSTRATED, ESPN, and THE NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE, yet he is perhaps best known for his more than seventy TIME cover portraits. He has also photographed advertising campaigns for such clients as American Express, Benson & Hedges, Dewar’s, Merrill Lynch, Nike, and Zocor.
Private portrait commissions are another important focus of Gregory’s work. The first photographic portrait for New York’s City Hall was his lithographic print of Mayor Edward I. Koch. The New York Public Library followed suit, commissioning a portrait of Marshall Rose which is presently exhibited in the Library’s Main Branch at Forty-second Street and Fifth Avenue. Most recently, New York Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg commissioned a portrait by Gregory which now hangs in the atrium of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore, Maryland.
As a sought-after speaker and educator, Gregory has taught at the International Center of Photography, the New School for Social Research, The School of Visual Arts (Master of Fine Arts Program), Parsons School of Design, The Smithsonian Institution (Masters of Still Photography Series), and the National Geographic Society, as well as scores of workshops and seminars throughout the country and overseas.
Among the kudos he has received are the Alfred Eisenstadt Award, and the Leica Medal of Excellence. Gregory has been profiled in AMERICAN PHOTO, COMMUNICATION ARTS, ESQUIRE, LIFE, and numerous industry periodicals.
