About this Event

The Big Shot

The Big Shot: Photographs by Greg Brennan showcases the work of one of Britain's longest standing and most celebrated press photographers, offering an intimate look at three decades of celebrity, entertainment and major events. From Hollywood and music legends to sporting greats, fashion visionaries and members of the British royal family, Greg Brennan has spent a lifetime chasing every opportunity to provide the public with rare behind-the-scenes insights, capturing encounters with the likes of Jack Nicholson, Cristiano Ronaldo, Lady Gaga, Kate Moss and Queen Elizabeth II. Told in the photographer's own words, with an accompanying narrative by his son Dylan, this volume represents not only an outstanding photographic record of headline-making people and occasions, but also a deeply personal account of a photographer's pursuit of the perfect shot - sometimes decades in the making. Featuring over 100 photographs, The Big Shot: Photographs by Greg Brennan is a stunning parade of famous faces and the story of Brennan's mission to reveal something of the individuals behind the most public of personas.

Greg Brennan

Greg Brennan is one of Britain’s longest standing press photographers who has captured some of the biggest news moments of the last 25 years. His hidden passion, however, is capturing the world’s rebels, rabble-rousers and world shakers at their most candid in black and white portraiture. Big hitters who have personally asked for copies of his photographs range from Michael Jackson to Bill Clinton and the Royal family. A copy of his portrait of HM The Queen is held by the Royal Photographic Collection for posterity at the request of Her Majesty. Brennan‘s photographic archive includes portraits of musicians – from the Rolling Stones to Amy Winehouse, actors – from Jack Nicholson to Johnny Depp, royalty – from many countries and world leaders from Nelson Mandela to The Pope – he has captured them all.
