Only 20 too, he's a long career ahead of him.
I'd like to see a bit more authenticity in some of his shots - that Veyron one is not great regarding the lighting on the sides and roof.
He's a lot to learn about incident light and angles, to make it believable rather than abstract.
I totally understand all that, but I don't always want it to look perfectly believable with light, I like to play and get different effects. Remember photography is art, so there is no correct or in correct, but different opinions (and luckily my clients like my work!) I'd like to see a bit more authenticity in some of his shots - that Veyron one is not great regarding the lighting on the sides and roof.

Thanks for the kind words all

He has very good photoshopping skills.
I read that as the sort of arsey comment people were posting in the PP thread. Breaking news: commercial photography heavily edited. Congrats on the interview George.

There's one thing I'd like to point out about what you've written above:He's a lot to learn about incident light and angles, to make it believable rather than abstract.
You weren't invited by McLaren to shoot the new P1.

If you've ever been interviewed by the press you will know that what you say and what they claim you said are two entirley different things! You weren't invited by McLaren to shoot the new P1.

George has excellent Photoshop skills, and his type of artwork represents modern digital photography art: the ability to post-process and manipulate the basic image to recreate new imagery is as important as capturing the instant/fleeting moment of a pure-untouched photo.
The point is that they are different skills, some photographers have natural ability and skill to capture raw and striking images that require very little processing. I think George's true skill, as reflected in his images, is how he uses his post-processing skills. His talent as a post-processor enables him to turn average photographs into some spectacular, surreal, almost Athena-like images.
The end result of his work is striking artwork: call it 'Photoshopagraphy' if you will. As a piece of art, brilliant. And in no way should that be a criticism of George's work. If he is an artist, the end result matters, and he clearly works damn hard to get the result that both he and, importantly, his clients want. Bravo to the young man for his accomplishments to date.
My original comment stands, and it is THIS that allows him to turn his photos into really striking and brilliant pieces of art. Not many others have the same skill or use PSD in the same way or to the same extent.
