George Steinmetz (born 1957) is an American photographer. He graduated from Stanford University with a degree in Geophysics in 1979. He began his career in photography after hitchhiking through Africa for 28 months in his twenties. His current work focuses on photographing the world's deserts while piloting a motorized paraglider. This experimental aircraft enables him to capture images of the world inaccessible by traditional aircraft and most other modes of transportation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Flying )〕 His work has been featured in ''The New Yorker'',〔Lauren Collins, Profiles, "(Angle of Vision )", ''The New Yorker'', April 19, 2010, p. 72〕 ''Smithsonian'',〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History, Travel, Arts, Science, People, Places )〕 TIME,〔The Panama Canal Gets Grander"()"〕 The New York Times Magazine,〔Voyages: Venezuela"()"〕 and he is a regular contributor to ''National Geographic'' magazine.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Photographer George Steinmetz Biography )〕 He is the author of four books, ''African Air'', ''Empty Quarter'', ''Desert Air'', and "New York Air"〔(HNA Books )〕 which feature portfolios of his work in many regions of the world.
