Thank you for spending some time here at one of my homes on the web. I hope you find the stories and photos here in enjoyable. I would like to to a moment to let you know a little bit about me and what I do. I am an exhibiting fine art and freelance photographer and am currently working on a coffee table book of Route 66. I started this blog to keep people up to date on current projects between shows and appearances. I also wanted to share press clippings and stories from the road and interesting photo shoots. For anyone who would like to know where I am next please sign my guest book at www.giangrecophotography.com.
Below is my “official” bio. You may also view more of my photography at www.giangrecophotography.com or at www.myspace/steve_giangreco. Please feel free to contact me at my e-mail address steve@giangrecophotography.com.
My father, an amateur photographer, gave me my first camera at the age of 12. I was fascinated by the possibilities this medium provided. I started my professional career in my late teens combining my love of music with my love for photography. This provided me the opportunity to work with local, regional, international musicians, promoters, and publications. My work included everything from CD art work, press kits, and concert photography.
As I entered my late 20’s having acquired the skill of a picture framer and archivist, my wife and I opened Greco Art and Custom Framing, a retail art and framing gallery. It was through our gallery I was able to showcase my photography to a larger audience. This in turn, led to me being asked to loan my skills for a worthy cause. The Child Abuse Prevention Association (C.A.P.A.), asked me to help with their 2006-2007 fund-raising campaign. The poster collage I designed, was centered around the photography of my home town of Kansas City, Missouri. It became the fastest selling poster C.A.P.A. has ever produced.
Now in my 30’s I have once again joined together two of my passions, automobiles and the open road. I have been honored to work with some of the industries largest companies and distinguished private collectors. I am currently a freelance writer in this field and produce my own line of posters, prints, fine art giclée and canvases. These are available for purchase through my website, gallery, and various other retailers.
