Black and white landscape photography by Christopher George
Posted by Diana Eftaiha on Jul 16, 2012 in Inspiration Fix | 8 comments
"I got seriously into photography about 3 years ago when I realized digital SLRs were starting to get very good (I hate the whole darkroom experience so was never tempted by film). I love dramatic perspectives and clarity and perfection in composition. Design and symmetry but most of all, creating/capturing ambience are big things for me, creating harmony out of the chaotic world around us. I guess I am one of "Kenna’s children" but don’t have that many other photographic influences, I tend to find inspiration elsewhere, from music for example. That said, I love the work of Julius Tjintjelaar who always manages to push the game along and Steve Landeros, a real master of textural and tonal balance.
Black and white is my favorite processing medium (although I also sneak out the odd color image too, but via experimental processing) as it grants you tremendous freedom in shaping the presentation of an image. I’m not really into representational photography, although I do admire those few who are really good at it. I love both long and short exposure images, depending on the conditions: long when the light isn’t perfect (when is it ever!), and short to capture those all too rare moments of magic light. I’m lucky to live on a beautiful island with some stunning scenery, but I also love travelling and have a patient wife who indulges me while I shoot!" ~ Christopher George

Woah these are mind-blowing
Inspirational works.Thanks for sharing
fantastic. just out of the world, as if all these photographs are captured in some other part of the world
Very pleasing to see the work of one of my favourite photogs get some deserved recognition. Very few people have the ‘Midas’ touch like Chris does. The ability to turn a scene that everyday people take for granted into something so atmospheric or just plain mind blowing is a special gift.
Perfectly composed images, very skilfully processed in black and white to stunning effect. Inspirational stuff! I must do that trip to Iceland one day soon!
Thanks for your kind works everyone.
Great POV & processing!
I am an art consultant in California and I have a client interested in landscape/black and white photography.
Is your work for sale?
Thank you,
