Photography
• Illustration — Greg Gorman, 2011 ©Andreas Bitesnich Over the years, Gorman has been acknowledged for his contribution to the world of photography, from the prestigious Lucie Awards for Portraiture and, more recently, by the Professional Photographers of America where he received the Lifetime Achievement Award in Portraiture. His charitable works by such organizations as The Elton John Aids Foundation, The Oscar de La Hoya Foundation and Paws LA to name but a few have also been critically recognized. Besides traveling the world for specialized photographic projects, Gorman continues to work on compilations of his imagery and exhibits his work in galleries and museums around the globe. It's Not About Me - A Retrospective marks Gorman’s twelfth monograph published in 2019. He has just completed this 13th work, ‘Homage,’ which focusses on the influence of African tribal art on European and American culture, and represents his first foray into the fine art world with collaborator and longtime friend, Gary Johns. Gorman is a public speaker in the photographic community and shares his expertise in hands-on photographic workshops worldwide.
