George has been involved with photography for over 35 years. George was shooting professionally at 16, and opened his first studio when he was 19. Today, George works freelance in South Florida and has exhibited in California and Florida.

Philosophy - Photography is the way that captures how George views his life and the surroundings that make his world complete. He considers himself a freelance artist that uses photography as his primary medium and relishes that freedom to explore his vision without bounds.  He has recently begun displaying his work as a benefit for others to appreciate and enjoy. Major influences on his vision include his father's optimistic outlook of life and poetic artistry combined with his mother's talent for painting.

Subjects - George chooses subjects that signify beauty and those usually include animals, flowers, butterflies, landscapes, sunsets, and people. He also enjoys photographing one of his favorite sports--beach volleyball. "The camera is my tool to capture how I see light, form, and color. I look for compositions where the interplay between lines, textures, patterns, colors, tones, and subject matter stimulate my soul. If I can look at the printed result and get the same feeling I sensed when I took the photo, then I am successful."

Medium - Experienced with both traditional film and digital media, in both black & white and color, George is constantly experimenting with new techniques and technologies. "Although my roots are in black & white, color adds another dimension that tickles my senses. In the last few years, I have transitioned from working in a traditional darkroom to a computer ‘darkroom’ and this has led me into new, exciting, and creative directions."
