Georgie first pursued his passion for photography in high school, where he was inspired by the rawness of film photography. He studied the colours and grain of images produced by the iconic film photographers of the day and couldn't wait to forge his own career—determined to become a successful photographer in his own right. After high school, Georgie studied his craft at both Capilano University and Emily Carr University of Art and Design, honing his natural talents and solidifying his career. Winning a grant through the YVR Art Foundation, Georgie traveled back to his [First Nations] reserve at Gitsegukla several times over the course of a year where he worked on a piece capturing the drama of the changing seasons. He was also able to reconnect with family, which is so important to him. Through his growing network of photography contacts, George landed a once in a lifetime opportunity to work with the Museum of Natural History in New York, where he experienced new inspiration and creative passions which fuel him to this day.
Georgie's current focus is on portraiture, which he regards as one of the more beautiful and inspirational aspects of photography. "I love being able to meet new people and to create art with people who love creating art as well," he says. Georgie doesn't restrict himself to one singular style of portraiture; he enjoys experimenting and studying different styles and techniques—resulting in an exquisite and unique perspective, to the delight of his subjects.
Georgie has recently delved into product photography and looks forward to exploring this genre more in-depth in the future.
