War photojournalist-turned-Hollywood-photographer Greg Williams is hoping his new book can teach others his simple shooting techniques.
eating vegan burgers was a set-up shot that is a personal favorite, he said. The Hollywood couple had DM’ed him thinking that the lensman was at the Oscars, but he was not. When they learned he was at another job shooting a party, they asked to come to him. Williams found a “suitably shabby” stoop nearby that would be a good contrast “for these two fantastic people in their tuxedo and ball gown with an Oscar, eating their burgers.” he said.
By the time he got interested in photography, Look had shut up shop and Life was no longer what it once was. By the age of 12, Williams was sold on photography, because he was “pretty ghastly at most things at school,” he said. A gift from his father — a book commemorating Magnum Photos’ 40th anniversary — introduced him to all of photojournalism’s elements, and left him equally struck by the war photography and the Hollywood coverage.
After leaving West Africa, he continued to work as a photojournalist and did a number of medical features, including a yearlong portrayal of a family watching their daughter die of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, a mutant strain of Mad Cow Disease, for the London Sunday Times magazine. Given the graveness of that subject, the magazine rewarded him by suggesting he choose his next assignment.
Another pursuit is the magazine he started a year ago, Hollywood Authentic, which borrows from “Life magazine-type Hollywood coverage from back in the day and brings it into today,” Williams said. About 2,500 producers, directors, agents, publicists, actors and casting directors receive hard copies of it at no cost in the past year. An online version has far broader reach, partially due to some of his 1.2 million Instagram followers.
