Bio George Fellner developed his passion for photography while studying architecture and design. Consequently, sensitivities for the design process helped to formulate his photographic skills. During the early years as an intern, he performed architectural photography services for local architects and builders. However, as George pursued a career practicing architecture, the photography of buildings centered on his own projects. Thus, the juxtaposition of architectural design and photography has been an ongoing symbiotic process for the past 20 years. Simultaneously, the love for travel with his wife Heidi has offered wonderful opportunities for travel and landscape photography throughout New England as well as the Western USA. In addition, George has accompanied his wife to many dog shows for both breed conformation as well as agility competition, providing yet another subject for photographic involvement. A recent new direction involves the macro-photography of stones, minerals and crystals, offering limitless material for evocative images. George embraced digital photography in 2003 and the totally integrated digital workflow process from image capture to final print has certainly offered a new rejuvenated enthusiasm for creative photography. |

Process The integrated use of form, context, composition, light, color, and texture are both consciously as well as subliminally incorporated in his photographs. "As a form of expression, the photographic process gives one the opportunity to observe and re-define the natural and man-made environment in unique and surprising ways. It is a visual means to celebrate reality, explore its abstractions, and discover worlds within worlds." Involvement George Fellner has participated in numerous juried photo exhibitions and regularly gives photo/presentation lectures on architecture and the environment. His work has appeared in travel guides, national journals, newspapers, and business newsletters. As for his day job, he is president of Fellner Associates Architects (FAA) based in Higganum, CT.
