“As the current Men’s Fashion Director at Bergdorf Goodman and T: The New York Times Style Magazine (previously at GQ and Cargo Magazines) I have hired and worked with Lisa as a producer for numerous major magazine fashion and lifestyle editorials over the course of many years and must honestly say that she is without a question my go-to producer of choice. In a city like LA that is filled with many people who are in the fashion, lifestyle, commercial business she is truly unparalleled. She possesses the most desirable personal skills along with professional expertise that translates perfectly into success in an incredibly difficult and demanding job, one that requires equal measures of patience and pro-activity, assertiveness with sensitivity. She has always been a pleasure to work with and I have never heard the word “no” issued as a response to anything that has been requested in a business filled with the most incredible and outrageous requests-she simply, and seemingly effortlessly, makes it happen. I have been in numerous situations on photo-shoots , where crises are the daily norm, where I have rested securely knowing that Lisa was my partner and that we would absolutely get the job done and in the most pleasant, anxiety- free way possible due to her leadership and ability to handle almost anything. I do want to point out that although Lisa has been involved directly and specifically in the production of photo shoots of many varieties and levels of sophistication, hers skills certainly and absolutely entail those of many different industries and positions. In our multiple dealings with celebrities she has certainly served as Public Relations Director, and Social Coordinator, originating the before unthought-of concept of having a dj on-set, allowing for personal requests for music from actors and actresses being photographed. While seemingly an insignificant action, this thoughtfulness and extra step always led to more pleasant and participatory moods on the parts of the celebrities involved and thus, much better photographs as the result. As Creative Director, she not only executes the most difficult photo shoot requests, but participates in the creative process, always offering utterly relevant and valuable suggestions. Her knowledge is vast and her skills are numerous. ”Producer” is a rather reductive way to say that she does anything and everything to make it all happen, with her foundation being made up of numerous personal connections, years of varied production experience and astute judgment."
Bruce Pask, Men’s Fashion Director
"I have worked repeatedly with Lisa for the past 11 years, and have found her to be the most talented and hard-working producer I have ever worked with. She is at the very top of her career with a skill set that can problem-solve and create in any company and any situation. Her ability of dealing with a smile under intense pressure is the characteristic I have always admired and respected the most. Lisa does not know the meaning of "Cannot Do." Furthermore, having worked with the type of enormous egos and important clients puts her in such a good place of dealing with any type of customers or suppliers. I would love to see her apply her enormous talent and enthusiasm to something which she is so passionate about. I would be one of the first people to support her in whatever endeavor or direction she chose to move in."
Nicolai Iuul, Executive Producer
“At my 15 years plus at GQ, I have had the pleasure of working on countless photo shoots with Lisa. She is always my first choice when I am shooting in L.A. When Lisa signs on for the job, I stop worrying about all the details that are essential to making a shoot successful.I know they will be executed flawlessly when Lisa is in charge of our production. She has the perfect blend of energy to get the job done and a calmness under pressure that is refreshing in an industry known for diva fits and situations that are certainly as important as brain surgery, if not more. I always look forward to working with Lisa and I am disappointed when she is not available due to her extreme popularity. Maintaining good relationships are extremely important in this business and Lisa is the best.”
Brian Coats, Senior Fashion and Market Editor
“I have had the great privilege to have worked with Lisa Grezo on several editorial projects at different magazines. Over the years in an industry full of unpredictability, Lisa is an absolute gem and there are no words to describe what a pleasure it always is to work with her. She is the rock I always seek out first for any project for which I am assigned on the West Coast. She is above and beyond the most gifted and talented producer I have ever worked with. Her production expertise, dependability and industry acumen is unparalleled. Working with her on shoots is true full service- every meticulous detail is accounted for and each job so well planned in advance there is never a surprise on the shoot. She always knows exactly what I need before I do! Lisa is and will always be the number one pick in my dream team. I have such great appreciation for my collaborations with Lisa, her genuine and infectious enthusiasm for her job makes each shoot an absolute pleasure. I look forward to our continued collaboration."
Stephanie Prepon, Photo Editor
"The success of my business, Brian Howard for Production, was a direct result of the collaborative effort between Lisa Grezo and I. Lisa’s effortless skills as a “nuts and bolts” producer can only be eclipsed by her “big picture” focus and vision. I’ve emphasized these two highly valued skill sets because rarely do you find both in one person. Wait, it gets better! What binds these strong assets together is her outgoing character, her interpersonal skills and her laughter. Working in photography production means putting out fires nonstop without slowing the pace. Lisa is able to do this with grace and professionalism and from the first moment I saw her work, I cleared the deck to make sure there was a place for her in my office and, as important, in my life. "
Brian Howard, Executive Producer and Founder
“Lisa Grezo has produced photo shoots and film productions for me over the past 15 years. I work all over the world and she is the best producer I have come across. Lisa is very dedicated, super professional and at the same time very nice to be around - she is really fun too. Lisa has produced big advertising shoots for demanding clients such as Nike, Target etc. and at the same time she has put the same energy and time into some of my personal projects (a.k.a labours of love) which only shows how much she loves her work. I really can't recommend her enough and I am extremely demanding. No photographer could be in better hands."
Klaus Thymann, Director / Photographer
"Lisa is a force of nature. Her help coordinating everything with board member Jon Hamm and Red Trunk Project was indispensable. Seriously, nothing would have happened without her. I hope she continues to be amazing."
Kevin Thomsen, President Founder
"I found Lisa very easy to work with; quick and efficient with a good eye and excellent taste. I came away with an art book not just different than I had planned, but with a much better flow and a more expressive coupling of paintings. She was understanding of my concept and not only improved it, but refused to settle for anything less than perfect."
Mary Woronov, Painter
"Lisa is a joy, as a consultant and person. She has a great eye and a quick, straight forward mind, getting straight to the point. Her dynamic and creative input gave me focus and direction, leaving me with greater understanding, not only how to present my works an artist, but also as a business woman, which to me, is the best of both worlds and the essential ingredient for success. I am grateful to her, as a person and for the gift of her talent."
Claudette Barius, Photographer
"Lisa was an invaluable collaborator in getting my website to the place I knew it should be, but couldn't quite get it there on my own. She has a perfect melding of aesthetic and design sense and business savvy. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone hoping to get their brand to the next level."
