ClubSNAP will be catching up with him for a interview and quick chat next Tues. Here's your chance to pose some of your questions to the master himself. We will collate the more sensible questions and topics for discussion and pose them to Greg directly in our face-to-face interview. Questions may not necessarily be serious or direct, but can be quirky, e.g. relating to his philosophy in life and photography, etc.

Post your questions and topics here and we will try our best to answer as many in the short time we have. Do not PM them to me pls.

To kick things off...

1. In your photography, how do you bring out the personality and private moments of your subjects, esp. with the public figures and celebrities you shoot who often present a facade to the world at large?
2. ... ...
3. ... ...

If you could travel through time and photograph any person from the past. who would you choose? What about a historical event?
