You may not (but you may) know John Gress, but you most likely know his work with clients like Ben & Jerry’s, Best Buy, Burger King, Chrysler, Cialis, Clairol, Dodge, ESPN and endless more. But as you know, it’s not his corporate photography we’re interested in here at Underwhere? Blog. A major body of his work is fashion, of which you find throughout his own personal photography blog.
John has spent his career with one foot in two different realms of photography: commercial and editorial. His unique resume has allowed him to develop a style that produces life filled, dramatic and striking images whether they are produced in the real world or on set and this is no different when men in underwear and swimwear are the subject matter.
Although I love his black and white work, his color work really rocks my world, with it’s gorgeous play on light and shadow highlighting the model (and his gear) with the contrasting backdrop of deep blue sky or a rusted gate, just as an example.
So, take a look at this extensive sampling of his work here, and be sure to visit his photography blog, where you’ll find not only more of his photography (which is mostly about male eye candy), but also his written insight about the models and the photo sessions.
One other thing I’d like to mention before you leave to check out John’s blog: Be sure to check out John’s photo on his about page over there – as my British boyfriend would say – he’s a bit of alright.
