I've known Greg for over a decade. When he comes to town from England whatever he's wearing I always ask who it's by. But what's more important to him are the stories behind what he's wearing. He has the best anecdotes about his clothing whether it be a fifteen year old duffle coat or a pair of beat to hell boots.
After you guys encouraged me, I tried to choose a location that told as good a story as Greg's clothing tells. The look, the smell, the wear... The beauty is in the imperfections over time... Thanks, Greg, for all your influence and inspiration over the years...
So much character! His style appears to be so effortless.
Great job yet again.

I enjoyed all the "Test Shots". Beside video, will you include audio or video interview? It gives "Test Shots" more character and personal touch. Anyway, great "Test Shots" project.

Had the pleasure of meeting him a few days ago at work and he's definitely a great guy. He chatted with us about a project he's working on in New York and it's very exciting. Looking forward to it!

Location, music, subject, clothing and camera work, all combining to make one hell of a great sequence. Best to date!

Looks like a fat get from Manchester. Oh he is.

I noticed lots of steam in the shots. Is Greg overheating under all the layers of clothes and facial hair ?
