Master of light
Fergus Greer is a master at “playing” with light. The way he interprets a subject, builds the image and leaves the person in its full value is characteristic of his style. He tries to show the essence of a person in one glance. His photos always are about the sitter, not the photographer. Yet in his own way: “I make them look pretty”. Over the years, Fergus Greer photographed hundreds of celebrities.
