Fergus Greer began his career in 1987 as a studio assistant, working with photographers such as Richard Avedon before becoming studio manager and assistant to Terence Donovan. In 1988 he met the performance artist Leigh Bowery, initiating a close collaboration that lasted until Bowery’s death in 1994. During this period, Greer also established himself through commercial and editorial commissions, contributing to publications including The Sunday Times Magazine, Vanity Fair, Fortune, The New York Times Magazine, and The New Yorker. In 1997, he relocated to Los Angeles, further expanding his international reputation as a portrait photographer. His sitters range from royalty and artists to actors, musicians, politicians, and athletes. His work has been recognized with two solo exhibitions at the National Portrait Gallery in London (2001 and 2006), which also holds a significant group of his portraits.
