George Georgiou (born 1961) is a freelance British photographer and photojournalist best known for his work in eastern Europe, particularly Turkey. ==Career in photography== Born in London of Greek Cypriot parents, Georgiou graduated in photography from the Polytechnic of Central London.〔(Biography ) of Georgiou at Moving Walls 14, Open Society Institute. Retrieved 16 December 2010.〕 Georgiou's work has focussed on communities split between different cultures. After working for six years in Serbia, Greece and eastern Europe, he was recently based for four years in Istanbul. His work in Turkey led to a series of photographs titled ''Fault Lines/Turkey/East/West,'' which has led to several exhibitions and a book. Georgiou has also taught photography at Barnet College in London and a number of workshops in Europe.〔("Double master-class by Vanessa Winship and George Georgiou: Documentary practice and narrative, the long term project" ), International Summer School of Photography (ISSP), Ludza.

Retrieved 12 December 2010.〕 Arriving somewhere new, Georgiou's approach is first to unburden himself of preexisting images of the place and to try to see through superficial differences with places he knows; he then looks for commonalities and actual differences.〔Colin Pantall, "Parallel lines", ''British Journal of Photography,'' 7 January 2009, p.17.〕 He starts by himself and only when well underway hopes to attract commissions and make sales.〔Pantall, "Parallel lines", p.21.〕 Georgiou's early work was in black-and-white but for ''Fault Lines'' and subsequent work he moved to colour, using a compact camera with an articulated LCD that may be viewed from above, like the ground glass screen of a twin-lens reflex camera; this is because he believes it less intimidating for the people photographed than a camera held to the eye.〔Diane Smyth, "In the Shadow of the Bear," ''British Journal of Photography,'' November 2010.〕〔Miranda Gavin, "George Georgiou: Fault Lines", ''HotShoe,'' June–July 2010.〕 Georgiou belongs to Panos Pictures.〔 His noncommercial approach has presented challenges; speaking in 2009, he described himself as having large debts but remaining optimistic.〔Pantall, "Parallel lines", p.25.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「George Georgiou」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
