Georfe Steinmetz

george steinmetz Born in Beverly Hills in 1957, George graduated from Stanford University with a degree in Geophysics. He began his career in photography after hitchhiking through Africa for 28 months. His current passion is photographing the world's deserts. Most of the aerial photos you see of his were taken from the seat of the lightest powered aircraft in the world, a motorized paraglider aircraft. This enables him to capture unique images of the world. George lives in Glen Ridge, New Jersey.
