About the American photographer Gregory HALPERN (b. 1977)

Greg HALPERN holds a BA in History and Literature from Harvard University and an MFA from California College of the Arts. In 2014 he was the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, in 2018 he became a Magnum nominee member. He is known for his intuitively rich colour photography that draws attention to harsh social realities as well as the unerring strangeness of everyday life. His work is rooted in both the real and the sublime and this approach has lead him to photograph life in post-industrial towns of the American Rust Belt, the people and places of Los Angeles . Since 2004 he has (co-)published several photo volumes.
