PALM SPRINGS PHOTO FESTIVAL PODCAST #25: Gregory Heisler

Greg Heisler, one of the top commercial portrait photographers in the United States for over 35 years, has made over 70 covers for Time Magazine. In a very entertaining conversation, Greg talks about working for the one & only Arnold Newman as his second assistant job and how naivety and persistence, plus his one suit and tie got him the job; photographing both Mayor Guiliani (standing on the edge of a sky-scraper) and Mayor Bloomberg, standing in a tree); his keen observations about looking forward (analog) and backward (digital); a famous deli in NYC, his advice for keeping it real and how a framework is essential for editorial portraiture. A must listen.
