Greg Lotus Figurative Photography

American, b. 1967
Photographer Greg Lotus' work can be found regularly in the pages of "Italian Vogue," "Vanity Fair," "GQ," "L'Uomo Vogue," and "W" magazine. Aside from his editorial work for major American and European publications, Lotus has shot advertising campaigns for Escada, L'Oreal, Swarovski, Cartier, Levi's, Neiman Marcus and Van Cleef & Arpels. His celebrity portfolio is equally extensive, including Penelope Cruz, Katy Perry, Kate Beckinsale, Megan Fox, Channing Tatum, Liam Hemsworth, Rose Byrne, Lisa Marie Presley, Milla Jovovich, Eva Longoria, Anna Kendrick, Pierce Brosnan, Monica Bellucci, Heather Graham, Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, Kim Kardashian, Chris Brown, William Levy, Paris Hilton, Dita Von Teese, Mary J. Blige, Paulina Rubio, Gus Van Sant, Paul Bettany, Elizabeth Hurley, Jane Lynch, Juanes, Chloe Sevigny and Isabelle Adjani among others. Drawing inspiration from classical paintings and a wide array of sources and life experiences, Lotus reinterprets in his own evocative way the use of light and shadow, playing with angles and composition to enhance the graphic quality of his images. Nature is a recurrent motif in his photography, a clear echo of his childhood. Lotus often mixes high fashion with rural or wild surroundings and includes exotic animals in his compositions, using elements that link the rarefied atmosphere of the fashion industry to the organic beauty of the natural world. In 2017, his black and white work was the subject of a monograph, "Shadows & Light" by Gatehouse Publishing.

Print is available in sizes from small to mural. Edition of 25. If the exhibition piece is sold or the customer orders a different print size, the photograph is produced upon purchase. Please allow two weeks for production. Shipping time depends on method of shipping. Price is subject to availability. The Robin Rice Gallery reserves the right to adjust this price depending on the current edition of the photograph. ABOUT: Inside the gallery, the viewer is surrounded by an arresting display of glamour in the wild. Drawing inspiration from classical paintings and geometric forms, Greg Lotus' work has been compared to Herb Ritts, Man Ray and Richard Avedon, and his exhibition fuses his high fashion background with the rural environment of his youth. Yet Lotus admits to no formal training throughout his career, "I'm completely self-taught, lots of trial and error over the years." His foray into fashion photography was a twist of fate. In the 90s he was sharing living quarters with young models, and began photographing them to help them build their portfolios—work that eventually brought his work to the attention of agencies. When it comes to his own models, Lotus prefers the "unspoiled" types, holding castings to find those with quirk as well as beauty. "Over time, most artists develop their own palette and look using color and light in a very personal way. I express my own aesthetic sense which is what makes my work recognizable, regardless of subject or setting." "Swimmer Cap," is an example of Lotus' signature pop of color. Here, a cast of sinewy models convene in a locker room; their candy-colored swim caps give the piece its surreal, dreamlike quality. In the invitation piece, "Nurses" beauties in black bathing suits pop against a light background while being hosed down by a nurse. "You can almost feel the spray and hear the whoosh under the miniskirt," says Lotus. Besides the visual play on light and dark, he says water is the linking element that turns the piece theatrical and makes it breathe. Greg Lotus was born in 1967 in rural West Virginia. He shot in Paris and New York City before settling in Miami to pursue his craft. After landing his first major job in Europe, Lotus interviewed with the editor of Italian Vogue, Franca Sozzani...
