Lawrence Grecco (born July 27, 1968) is an American writer and fine art photographer known for a well-rounded body of work and his refusal to be bound by an easily identifiable signature style. His work is concerned with both the human condition and the aesthetic uniqueness of every topic he pursues, including environmental portraits of people living on the margins of life, self portraits, video stills, and the sport of Turkish Wrestling. Lawrence Grecco’s photography has been exhibited extensively throughout the United States and Europe, and featured in publications such as Paper Magazine, Empire, Go Big!, Time Out New York, Gus Magazine (Belgium), American Movie Classics Magazine, Photography New York International, the Long Island Voice, the Village Voice, Blue (Australia), as well as the photographic anthologies "Exposed” (2000) and "Self Exposure" (2005). His work is included in the permanent collections of the Centro di Ricerca ed Archivazione della Fotografia Spilembergo (Italy), the Hillwood Art Museum (Old Brookville, New York), the Leslie Lohman Art Foundation, and Art Men Paris in Paris, France. In 2007 he played the role of a character named Slick in the film "Barcode" by director Harry Kane. His personal involvement in martial arts, particularly jiu jitsu, wrestling, and other fighting methods inspired him to document Turkey’s annual outdoor wrestling tournament (Kirkpinar) over a three year period, resulting in his first photography book “Turkish Wrestling” released in 2004. He is currently working on a memoir. Lawrence Grecco resides in New York City.
