GREG GERLA - Biography

Since graduating in 1990 from the Alberta College of Art & Design, Greg Gerla has spent the last 20 years developing a career as both a commercial and fine art photographer.  His work has taken him to exotic locals such as the frozen North of Inuvik to the fashion mecca of Miami. Gerla's innate sense of composition, aesthetic, light, and colour is applied whether his focus is to capture the allure of beautiful young model or the presenting the discourse between light and architecture into abstracted elements. Gerla's fashion photography has been published worldwide and recently he was selected as a special judge for a competition for Fashion House International in Moscow Russia. Gerla has exhibited his fine art photography both locally and abroad.

Gerla served on the National Board of CAPIC (Canadian Association of Photographers and Illustrators in Communications) from 2002-2005. He served as president of the Prairie Chapter of CAPIC from 2004-2007, and remains on the Board today.

He also holds an instructor position within the Design/Photography Department of the Alberta College of Art and Design. He continues to be inspired by what's outside his door, or across the oceans. Greg Gerla operates a studio in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Lumen marks his first solo exhibition with Summit Fine Art; the exhibition is comprised of large format photographs.
