Gregory George Laubsch or simply Gregor Laubsch (born 26 December 1956 in Góra, Poland) - a German photographer of Polish origin, a prominent portraitist, analogue photography enthusiast, promoter of a return to the classic portrait photography.

Style
As he says: "Although I dealt with in my life many areas (eg. surfing, mountain biking, painting ...) photography is - and remains - my biggest passion. With digital photography - as well as post-processing on the PC - creative photographic possibilities are endless. My interference in the starting material is limited to the required minimum. He deals with digital photography but remains loyal to the analog one. For portrait photography, in my opinion, the most important is light and model - her or his individuality, stop the moment. I am inspired by people and their faces. Each of them is different, each of us is different ... "

In the early stage of the work, his portraits were saturated with colors. Models, depicted in the photographs, were displayed less static but the dominant has always been face and eyes. In the later stages, the colors lost strength and the portrayed people became almost static. Present, in the work of Gregor Laubsch dominates black and white analogue photography (He takes photographs by a medium format Rolleiflex cameras 66, a Hasselblad and a Pentax 6x7).

His works are described as classic with economical styling. The perfect mastery of light gives the work of Gregor Laubsch unique atmosphere. A characteristic feature of Laubsch's portraits are the eyes - expressive and emotional - and simple poses without exaggeration or distortion. His style is recognizable and often copied but perfectionism and absolute minimalism allows one to distinguish genuine from counterfeit or photographs for inspiration
