Palm Springs Photo Festival Podcast


Feb 10, 2022

Greg Heisler, one of the top commercial portrait photographers in the United States for over 35 years, has made over 70 covers for Time Magazine. In a very entertaining conversation, Greg talks about working for the one & only Arnold Newman as his second assistant job and how naivety and persistence, plus his one suit and tie got him the job; photographing both Mayor Guiliani (standing on the edge of a sky-scraper) and Mayor Bloomberg, standing in a tree); his keen observations about looking forward (analog) and backward (digital); a famous deli in NYC, his advice for keeping it real and how a framework is essential for editorial portraiture. A must listen.
