My name is Neil George. In 2017 I took early retirement in order to concentrate on my photography.
I have been taking photographs for over 50 years and from an early age have been interested in using the camera to capture something other than a representational photograph (a picture of what is in front of the camera). As the years have passed, I have come to view the camera not as a way to take pictures but as a way to capture raw materials that can be turned into pictures. 
The kind of work I do now is often referred to as abstract/expressionist. Under the banner of Ellipsis Photographic Art, I use techniques such as ICM (Intentional Camera Movement), Multiple Exposure and digital manipulation of images. This builds images that are often more abstract in nature or are attempting to capture a mood rather than detail. 
My main inspiration continues to be the natural world, particularly trees and water, but also shapes and lines in man made objects.​​​​​​​
