Greg Jefferson

My name is Greg Jefferson and I am a Brooklyn NY based photographer. I have been doing photography for about 9 years. I developed my passion for photography as a child while helping my grandfather take pictures during family and church events. As a teenager I turned to drawing as my creative outlet, but then I turned back to photography again as an adult. I started off just doing casual street photography when I went on trips and later turned to doing events once friends found out I had a camera.

I have learned to develop a creative style for each genre.
