Recommendations

“Greg is probably the best photographer in Los Angeles. He’s a very talented and a top notch professional. I highly recommend him not only as a photographer, but also as a creative consultant who is attuned to the client’s needs. His sense of composition and lighting is way above the crowd. But don’t take my word for it–a quick glance at his portfolio at LinkedIn or at his website will testify to the high degree of his artistry. The body of work speaks for itself. Fabulous creative shots, and very cost-effective. You are welcome to contact me for details, or with questions.” Monica Ballard

“Greg is one of the best photographers in the country – I would consider him always.” Allen Spiegler

“I have worked with Greg for more than five years now. He is extremely dependable, quick and a true master at his craft (photography). I have hired him to do a wide range of events ranging for industry events featuring various Senators and Hollywood celebrities to my son’s third birthday. In all cases, Greg has been the consummate professional. I highly recommend his work and would be more than happy to give anyone who is interested more information.” K. Forrest Beanum

“I would not hesitate to hire Gregory again and again. Terrific work.” Harry J Friedman

“Greg was spot-on with high profile talent, right out of the box. John Daly was our talent for a Spot TV shoot and internet video, a ton of material to cover and only a day to do it in. Greg had to shoot around the film crew (PGA Tour Productions) and deliver material for the web and for print. He did it in a totally unobtrusive way and still managed to deliver great material that most shooters would have needed several days to capture and even then wouldn’t have picked up the subtleties Greg lensed. I definitely will use Greg again when I’m in Los Angeles, particularly when there is talent like John Daly involved.” Fred Page

“Greg has an easy-going personality that relaxes people and dissolves the stress of a shoot. He just has a flair for bringing out the natural warmth and personality of people and his sense of humor helps to make the whole experience fun. He has a real gift of making everyone feel comfortable. I’ve also found him to be very dependable. I first hired Greg back in 2002 and still use those photos because they were exactly what we wanted. Have used him other times since then, most recently this year and once again, he delivered exactly what we were looking for. He knows his stuff!” Pattie Lincoln-Tanzman

“Greg’s work proved to be phenomenal! I was very pleased with every aspect of his work and would hire him again without hesitation for our next photo shoot in Los Angeles.” Courtney Vorachek

“I have used Greg for photography assignments several times. He is dependable photographer, on-time, listens carefully to our project goals and then can be left on his own to deliver them. Results have always been very good and creative with lots of variety among the shots taken. He also delivers his assignments on time. A number of his photographs have been used in our annual reports.” Marilyn Freemon

“I recommend Greg for anyone considering a photographer in Los Angeles, no matter the assignment. I’ve used Greg’s services for more than 15 years, and for the majority of that time he was the only photographer I used. He is always on time, personable, readily understands the work to be done and completes it in a timely manner.” Ken Preston

“The non-profit I work for has hired Gregory Mancuso to photograph several events which required extraordinary flexibility due to demanding schedules and high profile attendees. Every step of the way Greg’s professional attitude, demeanor, and photographic skill enabled him to deliver exactly what the organization was looking for. The photographs have been used to promote the organization in online and printed materials. All feedback we have received about Greg following events has been positive.” Diane Baldwin

“Greg is seasoned, professional, personable, and reliable photographer. He gets the assignment without any hand-holding and delivers images that get the job done with an extra gleam.” Andrew Rasanen

“I hired Greg at rather short notice to do a shoot at a television playout facility in the Los Angeles area. From the point we had confirmation of ths date, Greg took over and was happy to liaise directly with the facility to make sure the shoot happened to meet my tight deadline. The results were great – excellent photography and a whole range of shots to choose from. More than I would ever be able to use! I would definitely use Greg again when we need a photographer and would have no hesitation in recommending him.” Laila Bishay

“They say a picture is worth a thousand words…so my write-up of Greg’s work won’t do his work justice. Simply put, when I have an important client project on-line, I want Greg behind the camera, working with me to deliver a top-notch project.” Matthew Klink

“As a talent manager, I have often recommended Greg to my clients in Los Angeles. He has always delivered!! Fantastic photographer — in pretty much every area. I cannot think of anyone I would recommend more strongly. Awesome work. Incredible personality. Fair. Honest. Creative minded. Greg is simply…the best.” Heidi Ifft

“We hired Gregory to do a variety of photos from exterior building shots to headshots of our top executives. I was impressed with his range, professionalism and ability to work so well with our busy executives. I would definitely hire him again and highly recommend him.” Winnie Jong

“Greg is a great photographer. He’s creative, thoughtful and dependable. He’s my go-to guy in Los Angeles.” Ken Johnson

“We hired Greg for photography and graphics composition services on a kitschy doggie card traditionally sent to company associates for the holidays. Over a dozen employee’s dogs were costumed in festive Hawaiian attire for individual photography on a tight Saturday schedule at our offices – requiring much patience and flexibility from our photographer – but Greg was clearly up to the task. The dogs all loved him and the shoot had such great results that perhaps our biggest challenge was selecting which images to actually use for our marketing piece. Great job, Greg!” Tammie Richards

“Greg M.- we don’t have lots of occassions – but when needed, we hire Greg to cover PR events, corporate photos and other creative needs. He is on time, reliable, does excellent work and does a good job of keeping in touch. MBPR has used his services throughout several years.Happy to recommend him as a photographer.” Marje Bennetts

“Greg Mancuso was a joy to work with. He handled all the preparation and details beautifully. We just had to show up. He was patient, informative and had control of the situation. I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. The photographs are pictures that will be handed down generation to generation. One of the best photographers in Los Angeles” Angela Jackson
