Résumé

 Background:


Greg Price Photography:
I have been involved in photography since 1972 and have been working full-time in the field since 1977. Since 1983 I have been a partner or principle in a number of commercial photography studios in the Union County, NJ, area. In August, 2003, I moved into a new studio in Metuchen, NJ, Studio 212. In December, 2013, we moved out of the studio because the building was closed down. My fields of specialty include public relations, commercial/industrial, publicity headshots, and glamour.


  Education:


I graduated from Cranford High School. After 2 years in the US Army I attended the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City as a Fashion Photography major. I also have taken non-credit photography courses at the School of Visual Arts, the New School for Social Research and The Learning Annex. I have taken courses in Computer Basics and Photoshop at Union County College.

PrimeShot.com: November 2000 -
I shot for "the world's premier professional event photography service". I would go to different events, mostly class reunions, and shoot photos of the participants. PrimeShot would then post the photos on their web site where they could be ordered directly. This company is no longer in business.

I started working semi-full time (while continuing my freelance work) as Director of Marketing for this company that supplies emergency power in 1999 after having them as a commercial client for my photography business for many years.
