"Greg is, simply put, as good as it gets. He handles all the basics at the highest level - then takes any project to an even higher level through his unique eye for shots no one else would think of that add a whole new dimension to the storytelling. He sees things others don't. He reacts to the storyline as it develops ( and is a master of rolling focus to follow the editorial). For Greg, 'good enough' is never good enough. He also has a truly deft touch for loosening up characters who have never been on camera before. He is a pleasure to work with and he will make any producer's work much, much better."
David Page - President, Page Productions


"As the host and producer of the PBS travel and adventure series Equitrekking, I have worked alongside Greg for many years traveling across the US and to International destinations. Greg has won two National Daytime Emmy's for Outstanding Single Camera Photography and the show was nominated twice for Outstanding Special Class Series. Greg is a true talent with an amazing eye for photography and is a genius at seeing the smallest detail that others would ignore.

A team player who wants the best for each production, Greg has the ability to shoot creatively and practically, keeping in mind post production. Whether it's in the frozen conditions of Quebec's backcountry in the winter when our frozen equipment was brought back to life in a heated snowmobile, the heat of Jordan's Wadi Rum Desert, putting together a cooking segment at a remote safari camp in Botswana or a hailstorm high in the mountains of the Canadian Rockies, where we have traveled with our HD equipment on horseback, Greg goes the extra mile in all situations to ensure photography perfection or as close as you can get. Not only is Greg an amazing Director of Photography, he is a joy to work with, maintaining a positive attitude, truly rolling with each situation and making our travels a lot of fun. I'd recommend Greg for any production."
Darley Newman - Host/Producer

Marion Kessel - Producer


"I have spent many years and countless hours with Greg on PBS shoots around the country. No matter what I envision, he can always make it better. His ability to see every possible angle and produce not just a series of shots, but a series of sequences is a real asset. He never gets tired and can put out the same beautiful images at the end of the day as he does at the start. Whether working on cooking shows, design shows, travel shows or with actors on stage, Greg gets the picture."
Bob Morris - Producer/Director


"I have had the pleasure of traveling the country with Greg as my DP on a number of ambitious award winning PBS programs over the years. Whether it was gliding around the Everglades, whitewater rafting down the Rio Grande or in 115 degree temperature in El Paso, Greg's camera work has always been impeccable, artistic and efficient. His aesthetic sense of lighting, strong background in audio and excellent shot coverage has certainly made my job easier in the edit room. From shooting exciting documentaries, travel shows, to dealing with celebrities, Greg is masterful with the camera and always captures the subject in a visually compelling way."
