Greg Gorman is an American photographer.
Gorman attended the University of Kansas with a major in Photojournalism and completed his studies at the University of Southern California, graduating with a Master of Fine Arts degree in Cinematography.
Over the years, Gorman has been acknowledged for his contribution to the world of photography, from the prestigious Lucie Awards for Portraiture to, more recently, 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 focuses 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.
In addition to his photography career, Gorman made wine under his own label, GKG Cellars, in collaboration with Dave Phinney of Orin Swift Cellars of the Napa Valley from 2006 to 2018. It received high scores from both Robert Parker and the Wine Spectator.
Gorman resides with his two French Bulldogs, Gladys and Cyrill, in Los Angeles, California.
