George King was born and raised in the U.K., relocating to the U.S.A. in 1979. His photography work began as an extension of his documentary film practice, influenced by the classic American documentary canon from Lewis Hine, the FSA photographers, Adams, Weston and others, and by painting. King is currently revisiting the aesthetics and strategies available to journey beyond this earlier work and explore new possibilities that align with his political and cultural interests, particularly to re-visit landscape photography that acknowledges the impact of the Anthropocene on the planet.
