Greg Barrett is one of the world's foremost photographers with a special interest in bodies in movement both within a commercial context and the performing arts.

He has worked extensively in film direction, feature film Gallery stills shoots, fashion photography, advertising and portraiture.

His photography is widely collected and seen as a reference point for the possibilities of what the human body can achieve in non-verbal expression.

Greg's first book, danceshots, was published in 1993 and his second, the critically acclaimed tutu, was published in 1999.


For many years, Greg also worked with fellow Aussie, Crocodile man Steve Irwin. Greg commented,


"The work is so fast and dangerous that you don't have a chance to get the shot in more than one frame really. It isn't all that far from shooting the Ballet."

STEVE IRWIN- Crocodile Hunter:

"Greg is not only the quickest photographer I have ever worked with but he is THE best....even my crocodiles like him."

"When I'm doing hard core crocodile action there's only one guy I want on the other end of the camera - and that's Greg Barrett."
