Director
Delaney George is a New Orleans-raised photographer, director, and visual artist. In her practice, George most often portrays the black femme narrative through a series of photoshoots she fully conceptualizes. Most concepts come to George in a series of dreams or visions. George's work aims to extract feeling from the viewer by consistently portraying themes of nostalgia, femininity, and history re-imagined.
George’s work has been said to be a side of fine art photography that is both a contemporary ode to the past and a safe space to display figures in spaces they aren't commonly represented or historically welcomed.
Clients Include Lack of Color AUS, Forever 21, Essence Festival, and more.
