As one of Britain's longest standing press photographers, Greg Brennan has captured some of the biggest news moments of the last 25 years and stored them within his ever-expanding library of pictures. While a sizable proportion of his work can be viewed in colour, his greater passion is for capturing, in black and white portraiture, the world's rebels, history-writers and world-shakers at their most candid, succinctly encapsulating their personalities with shots timed to perfection. Illustrious figures who have personally asked for copies of his photographs range from Michael Jackson to Bill Clinton and the British Royal family.
A copy of his iconic portrait of The Queen is held for posterity by the Royal Photographic Collection, at the request of Her Majesty. Brennan’s photographic archive includes portraits of musicians from The Rolling Stones to Amy Winehouse, actors from Jack Nicholson to Johnny Depp, world leaders from Nelson Mandela to The Pope, and royalty from many countries across the globe.
