THE MUSE
Created mostly with a 4x5 view camera, George's photographs showcase the untamed, quiet beauty of regions still relatively primeval. His first memories of art and nature trace back to early childhood and the astonishing work of John James Audubon. These early influences still inspire his creative process today. Combining this lifelong fascination with nature and the art of photography, George works to convey the energy and sense of renewal that contact with wild places brings.
George’s intention with his photography, is to stylistically, but faithfully, interpret the wonder of the natural world. No digital compositing is ever done, by adding to or subtracting from, the reality that nature revealed to the camera. In the field, filters are rarely used, and only then to compensate for the limitations of film to record certain high-contrast situations, or to reduce glare.
PRINTS
The images on this site are available as museum quality art prints. Signed by the artist, each print is made using state-of-the-art Lightjet laser imaging technology and Fuji Crystal Archive photographic paper. This high-tech yet traditional approach is the color print choice for many museums and galleries today. Archival stability is greatly improved over just a few years ago, and color, tonal range and detail must be seen to be truly appreciated. Prints are made by first obtaining a high-resolution Heidelberg Tango drum scan of the original 4x5 transparency. All image preparation is done by George on a Macintosh workstation. Print sizes range from 16’’x 20’’ up to 48’’x 96’’.
