Star Photographer Greg Gorman creates the poster for the 46th edition of the Festival

«Greg Gorman (born 1949) is an American portrait photographer of Hollywood celebrities. His work has been seen in national magazine features and covers, including Esquire, GQ, Interview, Life, Vogue, Newsweek, Rolling Stone, Time, Vanity Fair, and the London Sunday Times.

Although he studied photojournalism in college, his passion for rock-and-roll led him to his chosen field when he photographed Jimi Hendrix in 1968. John Waters once said, ‚Greg Gorman is the only person I’d let photograph my corpse‘. He primarily works in black-and-white.

He has also directed music videos, television advertisements, and graphic design layouts for advertisers.^«
