| The 3000 bare, rocky outcrops which emerge from the blue Aegean are the raw material for the Greek photographer, Georges Meis. Although he made photos from the age of 14, he only became seriously involved in photography while reluctantly studying to be an electrician. In 1973 Georges' passion to involve his life around photography could no longer be restricted. This led him to Paris, where he widened his views and range of photographic experience. Having realized his aims, Georges returned to Greece to establish his name in the glamour of fashion photography. Then, at the peak of his success, Georges was still not satisfied, so he gave up the glamour and commercialism of fashion photography to concentrate solely on creating fine art photographic prints. Cameras in hand, Georges walks the length and breadth of the Greek isles, seeking out the hidden corners, the inconsequential details of everyday life. The warmth of the Greek people speaks through a worn mat, a well-trodden stairway, an open door. As a result of these efforts, Georges has become a renowned photographer worldwide. |
