We’re Teaming Up With Renowned Photographer Michael Grecco To Bring You His Collection Of Celebrity Photos The Internet Has Never Seen Before
Chip Chick is partnering with world-renowned photographer, director, and author Michael Grecco to bring you his special collection of celebrity photos the internet has never seen before!
Michael is considered the “master of light” and he started snapping photos at just 12-years-old after he begged his parents for his very own camera.
Michael was enthralled with photography ever since he got the opportunity to use a camera while at a camp one summer.
His parents ended up gifted him a Mamiya/Sekor 35mm single-lens reflex camera, complete with different interchangeable lenses, and that was the beginning of it all.
Michael spent many of his waking hours taking photos, or admiring the ones in books he borrowed from his local library.
Michael’s passion for being behind the camera took him to Boston University’s School of Communications, where he majored in photography and filmmaking.

When Michael was still in college, he landed a job as a photojournalist at the Associated Press.
From there, Michael went on to work for the Boston Herald, where he shot photos at the NBA Playoffs, the World Series, and the Super Bowl.
Michael also photographed anti-nuclear protests, politicians, and even President Ronald Reagan.
Michael decided to leave the east coast behind and move to Santa Monica, where he learned unique lighting tricks while working on television and film sets. These tricks were a springboard for Michael developing his own incredible methods and signature style.
This, in turn, set the stage for Michael to become the go-to portrait photographer to the stars. He has worked with Drew Barrymore, Will Smith, Leonardo DiCaprio, the Olsen twins, Kate Winslet, Pierce Brosnan, and a host of other big names in Hollywood.
Aside from being a preeminent celebrity portrait photographer, Michael is also a director, author, and sought-after commercial photographer.
