Lukas Maverick Greyson is a photojournalist, humanitarian, designer and healthcare specialist based in New York City. After designing accessories for global fashion companies throughout Europe and Asia, he became Creative Director and Archivist for celebrity photographer Patrick McMullan where he designed one of the largest photography books on NYC nightlife entitled, so8os: A Photographic Diary of a Decade (powerHouse Books). For over two decades, he was also one of the top event photographers at the Patrick McMullan agency covering press and celebrity assignments in NYC, London, Miami, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas.

 

He then left New York City for war-torn Uganda, Africa where he created and managed MEND by Invisible Children. This ground-breaking initiative changed the face of both fashion and NGO-focused humanitarian efforts, creating a sustainable handbag business, educational and healthcare program for Ugandan women who escaped the war and decades of torture. 

 

Greyson's work has been published worldwide and is respected for his documentary style and empathetic approach to capturing both the profound beauty and tragedy of everyday life. He graduated from Parsons School of Design with a BFA in Fashion Design, multiple gold and silver thimble awards, honors and the distinguished Designer of the Year award.

 

He currently works with survivors of violence and trauma at the Mt Sinai Institute for Advanced Medicine -- and continues to photograph meaningful documentary projects in collaboration with humanitarian organizations worldwide.

 

In early 2024, he immersed himself in India, teaching English and healthcare for children living in poverty. Later this year, his travels will include Argentina, South America and Tanzania, Africa where he will be doing humanitarian work, teaching assignments and environmental projects with the Maasai people. Greyson lives in Brooklyn, NY with his wife Elizabeth and two daughters.
