A seasoned, award-winning photographer, Gregg's accolades extend beyond the lens.  With two published books, features in several publications, and exhibitions in Zimbabwe, Mauritius and the UK - with a showcase at London’s prestigious Royal Geographical Society - his impact on the photographic industry is understated but undeniable.  For the last five years, he has lent his expertise as a judge to the Africa Photo Awards, and he actively participates in photographic societies and global conservation efforts.

Gregg's affinity for wildlife and Africa’s vast landscapes have been the driving force behind his photographic adventures for more than 30 years.  Itchy feet have led him to explore remote corners of southern Africa, as well as doing some work in the Serengeti and Grumeti Game Reserve of east Africa’s Tanzania.  Although he loves all wildlife and open plains areas, it was his deep-seated connection to the ancient albida forests found on the flood plains in Zimbabwe’s Mana Pools National Park, that ignited a pivotal moment in his artistic journey.

While in Mana in 2010 working towards his first book entitled Mana Pools, Gregg was captivated by the mystical blue haze that emerges through the vista and is unique to the Zambezi Valley region.  Inspired by the serene beauty, he began experimenting with his photography, drawn initially to the timeless allure of black and white imagery.  He explored colour temperature to see what he could create with it, and that’s ultimately what gave rise to the iconic Gregoire Blue.  This serendipitous discovery marked the foundation of his signature style, setting him on a path to redefining traditional photographic techniques.

Playing with hues and tones, Gregg discovered a mesmerising blue tint that breathed new life into his monochromatic compositions.  Around 2012, he began creating cyanotypes, which were the original ‘blueprint’ produced through a process discovered by Sir John Herschel more than 180 years ago.  At the same time, he delved further into the realm of alternative printing by pioneering the establishment of what he believes was Zimbabwe's first alternative prints' darkroom.  Fuelled by a passion for innovation and a desire to push artistic boundaries, Gregg meticulously curated his collection of darkroom equipment, sourcing vintage pieces from renowned names such as Strachans Photo Shop in Harare, Plinio Battigelli and his brother Ilo, better known as ‘Ilo the Pirate’.  Today, Gregg continues to produce cyanotypes and other prints using these alternative processes.

His commitment to preserving the heritage of photography while simultaneously embracing modern techniques soon earned him recognition as a trendsetter in the industry.

Amidst the challenges posed by the pandemic, Gregg's creativity soon found solace in the idyllic surroundings of Mauritius.  Transforming his living space into an art sanctuary, he continued to refine his craft, eventually establishing the first dedicated alternative darkroom of its kind on the Indian Ocean Island.  From this tranquil haven, his journey continued to transcend borders, as he showcased his distinctive style to global audiences.

Today, the Gregoire Blue has become more than just a signature style: it's a testament to Gregg's artistic vision and dedication to his craft. His limited edition pieces are coveted by collectors and casual enthusiasts alike, as each is drawn to the contemporary allure of his blue-toned imagery.
