Biography
Greg Morris is a photographer and a filmmaker. Primarily self-taught as a photographer, he cites the social histories Let Us Now Praise Famous Men (James Agee and Walker Evans) and How the Other Half Lives (Jacob Riis) as childhood influences that have continued to impact how he sees the world. One early reviewer described his core documentary photography as “portraits of places that have lost their function: For all their air of abandonment, the sites retain their life.”
Between 1995 and 2005, Greg’s photography was exhibited in group shows in New York, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and throughout the United States. His work also appeared in Hayden’s Ferry Review. In 2002, he received the Golden Bear Juror’s Award and Blue Ribbon for photography at the California State Fair.
More recently, Greg has turned his attention to film, with his filmmaking often visually and thematically informed by his photography. A member of San Francisco’s Scary Cow film cooperative, he is director and co-producer of the forthcoming documentary The Mah Jongg Game, which is his directorial debut.
