Greg Gorman completed a course in Press Photography at the University of Kansas (1967-1969). His career as a photographer began in 1968 with a series of shots of a Jimi Hendirx concert; he then took photographs of a Doors concert and of one given by Janis Joplin. His work ranges from fine art, male and female nudes, to advertising campaigns, magazines and graphics for films (such as Tootsie, The Big Chill, James Bond and Man in the Iron Mask). Gorman's photographs have appeared in many major international magazines, such as GQ, Vogue, Newsweek, Vanity Fair and Rolling Stone. He lives in Los Angeles, where he is also a University Lecturer and holds seminars at the Santa Fe Photographic Workshop and Mendocino Photo Workshop.
