Greg Williams’ photographic style merges reportage together with cinematic lighting and composition.
As a photojournalist Greg shot news features in such trouble spots as Burma, Chechnya and Sierra Leone in the 1990′s. He also worked on in-depth photo essays that tackled such issues as CJD (the human strain of Mad Cow Disease), Thalidomide’s second generation of deformed children, and brain damage rehabilitation for children.
In 1997 British-born Greg embarked on an assignment for the London Sunday Times Magazine incorporating his love of film into his photography. This project developed into his first book “Greg Williams On Set” (published 2001- Vision On), a reportage photo essay behind the scenes of the British Film Industry. to date greg has worked as a “Special Photographer” on over 120 films including “King Kong”, “The Talented Mr Ripley”, “The Bourne Ultimatum” and “Attonement”.

Absolutely great photos from Greg Williams, thanks for sharing this! The ones with Benicio del Toro are awesome, maybe because he’s also one of my favourite actors.
