Photographer Greg Wigler was asked about the process of photography. What makes a good image? He replied, “Sometimes light, sometimes color, sometimes form. From these I compose an image. Usually High Dynamic Range, occasionally Infra-red, sometimes neither. From this comes an image and then the print.”

Wigler cites his influences come from Impressionism, Renaissance, Native American, Graphic Artist Rick Griffin, and early Walt Disney films.

Wigler continued, “I learned the mechanics of cameras at a camera repair school in Littleton, Colorado, the chemistry of film and print as a supervisor at a Fox Photo lab in Denver, then composition and design at Community College of Denver.

“This led me into concert photography, being published in several magazines, The Denver Post, The Rocky Mountain News, and Sparrow Records. Doing LP covers, CD covers and design, finally doing prints, postcards and T-shirt/ Hoodies for The Stanley Hotel. I also contributed photos of the historic U2 show at Red Rocks to Red Rocks: The Concert Years and Colorado Rock Chronicles books by G. Brown and Why Should The Devil Have All The Good Music and A New Song books by Paul Baker.

“I have learned not to keep knowledge to myself, in giving, new ideas flow.”
