Greg has been creating photographic images for companies like Kraft, Saks Fith Avenue, Sears and Chrysler for over 36 years. As former CEO/President of a regional advertising agency, Greg understands the marketing needs of his clients, a unique factor that sets him apart from most professional photographers. He is known for his creative solutions to some of the most challenging assignments in advertising, architectural and portrait photography. Before opening Gregory James Phelps Photography in Texas’ Rio Grande Valley in 1983 (and then, a few years later, in Houston), Greg had a studio in Detroit where he photographed automobiles for GM and Chrysler during the late ‘70s and early ‘80s. He also specialized in product, illustration, fashion and catalog work. From 1990 through 2005 Greg was President and CEO of a very successful advertising agency that he founded. In 2005 he sold his interests to be able to devote his full time to his passion, photography.
