In 1999, Gregory Georges' twenty-five year obsession with photography finally took priority over his work in the software industry when he decided to undertake photography full-time and to work to achieve another life-long goal—to publish a book. His first book was to become the best-selling book for his publisher and it was also one of the first books to focus exclusively on digital cameras.
As the creator and founding author for John Wiley & Sons successful “50 Fast” book series, his second book, “50 Fast Digital Photo Techniques” quickly became an Amazon “Top 25” best seller. Later on, Digital Photography Top 100 Simplified Tips & Tricks was to become Wiley’s all-time-top-selling photography book, and 50 Fast Photoshop 7 Techniques was picked as #4 on Amazon’s Top Books of 2004 in the “Digital Life” category. His ten books have been translated into more than a dozen foreign languages.
He has written for, or has had photos published in, numerous magazines including: Shutterbug, eDigital Photo, Inside Lacrosse, Digital Output, and Digital Creative Arts.
Greg is the founder and host of one of the largest and most popular Yahoo! Forums with over 4,500 members. He has also served on more than a dozen Beta teams for major software vendors such as Adobe. He graduated with a B.S. degree in business with honors, with majors in Marketing and Management from the University of Utah.
Currently, Gregory is working on a book of true stories about homeless people with toned black, white, and gray photos, and he has nearly completed a fine-art photography book featuring many amazing tropical waterlilies. He continues to take photographs at top sporting events and is refining his signature portrait style using long-focal length lenses outdoors with natural light. Additionally, he can capture and present an entire story in a Gregory Georges Signature PhotoStory Book.
Gregory just concluded shooting the 2007 American Dance Festival in Durham, North Carolina. It was the 30th anniversary of the event being in Durham and next year will be the 75th anniversary of the American Dance Festival. His plan is to publish a 75th anniversary book following next year’s event.
