Greg Murray

Greg is an experienced and nationally recognized lifestyle, portrait and commercial animal photographer, author and rescue animal advocate living in the Cleveland, Ohio area with his wife, two daughters, and two rescue dogs. He is the author of 4 books (Gotcha Day coming September 2023!) that have sold over 30,000 copies around the world since 2017.

Much of Greg's work focuses on equine and pet photography. Besides dogs, cats and horses, Greg has photographed dozens of different types of wildlife and non-traditional pets.

Greg hasn’t always been in this profession and it took him a long time to have the courage to pursue it.

He was born and raised in Lakewood, Ohio and also spent time growing up in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Greg earned his degree in business from Loyola University of Chicago and spent about ten years working a desk job at various private and non-profit organizations in Chicago, Atlanta and Cleveland.

Between 2005 and 2014, you could often find him firing or laying off employees, putting out office fires, and rummaging through large amounts of paperwork. Spending much of his time in a windowless office five days a week, Greg’s mental and physical health began to suffer. He needed a change.

Greg left his corporate career in early 2014. Shortly thereafter, he was a full-time photographer running his own business. Combining his love for animals and photography was the only natural thing to do. Two short years later, Greg began working on his first book, Peanut Butter Dogs, and was signed by a national publisher. Life is full of unexpected turns! He is now working on his 4th book that comes out in 2023.
