Person properties

General info :
George Lange (born ca. 1956 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA) is an American photographer.

His images often surprise with unexpected twists: subjects posing in boxes, chairs suspended from walls, and lots of things being thrown at his camera. One of his most iconic shots shows Sophia Loren at her most glamorous in a Todd Oldham evening dress at a Beverly Hills villa with a leaf blower strapped to her back. Another is the photo of Ewan McGregor smoking a cigarette with his head in a lion’s mouth. He took the only posed picture of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates together, sitting in Jobs’ home in Mountain View, California. He has photographed Warren and Jimmy Buffet dressing up as each other.
He studied at the Rhode Island School of Design when the photo department was run by Harry Callahan and Aaron Siskind.

After graduating from high school and doing a brief stint at Ithaca College, Lange studied at the Rhode Island School of Design and then moved to New York, where he spent a year as an assistant to famed photographer Annie Leibovitz.
Early in his career he worked with giants of photography Duane Michals and Annie Leibovitz, where he learned the fine art of storytelling through images (Duane) and the choreography of a big commercial shoot (Annie). Immediately after,Geoge went out on his own and began to shoot for magazines such as Rolling Stone, Esquire, Entertainment Weekly, Teen People, NY Times Magazine, Vogue, Vanity Fair, GEO, and Fortune among many others.

He also shot many of the iconic images from 90’s TV shows such as Friends, Frazier, Dawson’s Creek, and Seinfeld. Later he shot ads for TLC with hit shows like Cake Boss and Honey Boo Boo. He has shot ads for movie posters including Jackie Brown, Little Rascals, Flintstones, and many Jim Carrey movies.

His book The Unforgettable Photograph, published in 2013 by Workman Publishing and co-authored by Scott Mowbray, was published in multiple languages internationally.
