Moving Pictures

Greg King knew at the age of ten he would have a career in film after being cast in ABBA: The Movie. He pursued acting for several years. Then it hit him like a revelation: He wasn't cut out to perform in front of the lens. The film of his life was inside the camera and he was made to be behind it.

GREG KING works in London, a 24/7 three-ring circus. You miss the beat and like the last bus or the last tube you're left in the shadows. His photographs capture the same pulse, the same mood. It's as if he clicked the shutter an instant too soon and we stare at the image wondering what's going to happen next. Like a movie director, his shots hint at mystery, haunting but poetic.

"I like to be challenged," he says. "I want the people who are interested in my work to always be surprised by what direction I take next."
