“I was disheartened by the negative and stereotypical images of black men that were promoted to the world. My mission was to create images of my brothers that showed the strength, beauty, and the God within us which is true to spirit."

Greg wanted to create images that came from a black perspective that were uplifting, sexy, sometimes spiritual, and allowed freedom of spirit without judgment.

"It’s important to me that we as black people show our true identity to the world instead of allowing others to show their perception of us. I would like us to look deeper at each other and see new potential and possibilities, and to encourage each other to show
that to the world."

Greg's work has toured with the Smithsonian Institute.  He has shot political events, HIV Campaigns, celebrity and political field galas.  He has worked in foreign countries (Africa, Spain, and Thailand) and launched art posters.  His photographs have also been featured in numerous magazines and newspapers (Arts and Antiques, The Washington Post, Gallery Showings, and The Tri-Star Defender).

"Since my journey began, I have witnessed the deterioration of the black male image. This makes me fearful. I question the direction and choices black men have made for themselves in these modern times.  My new goal is an evolution of myself and my work. Many great artists were not appreciated in their time. People have told me that 'I am before my time.' That would suggest that God made a mistake by creating me now.
I don’t believe that God makes mistakes!"
