Jorgio El-Zein - Photographer &
Graphic Artist

Man Australia Photography Directory
INTRODUCTION
I
have been a practicing photographer for over 15 years.
My techniques are self-taught, based upon the experience
of shooting hundreds of rolls of film each year, I
use 35mm and medium format cameras and work with both
natural and artificial light sources. My studio is
equipped with digital facilities, where I compose
images and multi-media works. My commercial photography
assignments have been largely in the area of the entertainment
industry including the design of CD covers and posters.
In film and video I have worked on independent productions
in the capacity of stills photographer, actor and
screenwriter.
As
a photo-based artist, I have participated in solo
and group exhibits and been the subject of many interviews
and portfolio reviews on radio, internet and newspapers.
My interviews with the electronic media have included
on-camera demonstrations of the making of my images,
using unconventional photographic techniques and the
latest digital technologies.
I
have also volunteered my services as a photographer
and donated works of art to benefit humanitarian causes
and non-profit arts organizations and publications.
