The Greg Salvatori Collection

About the Artist

Born on the border between France and Italy, Greg Salvatori escaped an abusive childhood made unbearable by being raised a Jehovah’s Witness. Bullied at school, abused at home, living in poverty after his parents’ traumatic divorce, Greg started to work at a very early age.

He fought to escape the cult, go to high school and put himself to university. He worked in restaurants and started modeling in Milan and London, won a full scholarship and completed his studies early.

He started his postgraduate career at Ferragamo’s headquarters in Florence, often traveling between Tuscany and London. He learned as much and as he could and founded his photo studio in London in 2009.

He moved his studio to New York in 2014 and opened his fine art gallery in Provincetown in 2019, where he lives with his husband, Edgar Award nominee writer James Polchin, and Albert, the yellow lab who loves tiaras.

As a person who has survived a traumatic start to life, Greg can’t help but be thankful for the success, the blessings, and the love he keeps receiving. He uses his work and his art to spread joy and playfulness in his unique way.

Some will recognize Salvatori as the author and photographer behind "Beards of New York."


Greg Salvatori's collection with The Queenly NFT features selections from his "Ropes" series.

About the Collection

In the “Ropes” series, Greg Salvatori elevates the simplest of props, a rope washed ashore, to tie himself to an ideal of classical proportion for this photo series. The rough rope touches the warm, sun kissed skin and makes these Greek statues come to life. Tactile and sensual, this series celebrates the complex and the contradictory, and evokes that Gordian knot of feelings we experience when we’re attracted to a mysterious, new someone. Only the boldest can try and untie that knot.
