Georges Altman Photography

City: Geneva

CLASSES: Beginners, Intermediate, Adolescents, Photoshop

Can’t help but scribble “mouths” when he has a pencil in his hands, Georges Altman develops from an early age an ability to produce images, on any support at hand, to the dismay of teachers having crossed his path. Compulsive drawing led him to study visual communication in Lausanne and Geneva, where he enthusiastically discovered video and photography.

Graduated as a visual communication designer, he worked for a while as a freelancer, but after a few years he left the world of graphic design for photography, which gave him much more freedom. Working as a visual arts teacher since 2007, he has also created his own photo studio in Carouge in 2010. Photography is fast becoming his main activity. Since 2015 he’s also working in an association as a designer and director of audio-visual educational content aimed at fighting discrimination.

Even if he touches everything in his photo mandates, the subjects allowing him to create expressive characters or polard’s atmospheres, as before with the drawing, are by far his favorites. Thus, the details, the scars and the chiaroscuro are quite natural in his portraits as in his architectural photos.
