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 spent 10 days in March, 2003, in Jamaica
shooting productions stills for the reality pilot
"Natural Beauties
of Hedonism III". We also shot a pilot for a
woman's pro pool/celebrity show in Las Vegas. We
have also shot segments for the TV show Steel
Wheels in Indianapolis.
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

photography, working with graphic artists and
layout artists, ad placement, and computer tech
support.
