Greg Lotus

Photographer Greg Lotus' work regularly appears in the pages of Italian Vogue, Vanity Fair, GQ, L'Uomo Vogue and W Magazine.

In addition to his editorial work for major American and European publications, Lotus has shot advertising campaigns for Escada, L'Oréal, Swarovski, Cartier, Levi's, Neiman Marcus and Van Cleef & Arpels.

His celebrity portfolio is equally extensive, including Penelope Cruz, Katy Perry, Kate Beckinsale, Megan Fox, Channing Tatum, Liam Hemsworth, Rose Byrne, Lisa Marie Presley, Milla Jovovich, Eva Longoria, Anna Kendrick, Pierce Brosnan, Monica Bellucci, Heather Graham, Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, Kim Kardashian, Chris Brown, William Levy, Paris Hilton, Dita Von Teese, Mary J. Blige, Paulina Rubio, Gus Van Sant, Paul Bettany, Elizabeth Hurley, Jane Lynch, Juanes, Chloe Sevigny and Isabelle Adjani, among others.

Drawing inspiration from classical paintings and a wide range of sources and life experiences, Lotus reinterprets the use of light and shadow in his own way, playing with angles and composition to enhance the graphic quality of his images.

Nature is a recurring motif in his photography, an obvious echo of his childhood. Lotus often mixes high fashion with rural or wild environments and includes exotic animals in his compositions, using elements that connect the rarefied atmosphere of the fashion industry with the organic beauty of the natural world.

In 2011, Greg Lotus presented "Impressions", the first solo exhibition of his photographic work, in New York. The 34 pieces in the exhibition represent highlights from his 20-year career. In 2012, his new exhibition "Images" was presented at Art Basel in Miami.

Today, Lotus divides his time between Manhattan, Paris and Miami, frequently traveling for assignments in Europe and wherever his profession may take him.
