Lawson's works have been featured in many newspapers across the United States, such as the Santa Cruz Sentinel, Santa Barbara News-Press, The San Diego Union-Tribune, Sedona Red Rock News, Verde Independent, Honolulu Star-Bulletin, among others.

Lawson's interest in photography began at the age of 14 when he received a camera from his mother while he was living in New York City. His interest in photography has continued ever since as Lawson built up a photography career spanning more than five decades.

Greg Lawson has operated ten photographic art galleries in Southern California and Arizona, and currently operates a gallery in Sedona, Arizona that has become a popular tourist attraction.

Some of Lawson's photography techniques include the aluminum transfer method, where images are produced on aluminum sheets.

Lawson's production company, Terrestrial Public Media, produces a weekly talk show called "Skylight" currently broadcast in Phoenix, Arizona. "Skylight" features arts-related interviews and also discusses the philosophy of art, including philosophical topics such as Lawson's "Principle Movement" on how humanity is guided by basic principles such as empathy and loyalty.
