Description
Focusing his intuitive photographic lens on beauty in the commonplace, George Fischer brings to light a vivid world beyond technology, traffic, and tension. A place to pause with inspirational gems and moments of splendour. A realm where deeply sensitive images of life spark amazement and awaken joy.
George delves into the depths of everyday images to elicit moments of intimacy and intricacy. Moments that decelerate the pace, engage the imagination and help us appreciate life anew.
In Simple Beauty , George transports us into a space where we can stop and smell the roses. Inhale healthy breezes. Embrace the genial sun. And refresh our jaded scenery.
