Gregory began to explore the relationship between mankind and the animal kingdom in 1992, wish later led him to his phenomenal series on it.

He discovered that there are many cultures which exists only because of a balance and co existence with the animals. He then takes on his journey to capture the real essence of these relationship in a rather artistic way. He has won the trust of all his subjects which were animals and many a tribes, which is visible in his artistic photographs. “My imagination has always been inspired by nature’s vision” – Gregory Colbert.
