George Holz

George Holz is an American photographer whose work spans 30 years and includes nudes, fashion, and celebrity portraits. He is a native of Oak Ridge Tennessee, and graduated from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California in 1980. While at Art Center, Holz assisted for Helmut Newton, who urged him to move to Milan to pursue his vision.

In Milan, Holz developed his own unique style.  Photo Italiana called him “a new up-and-comer with a unique independent style.”  In Europe, Holz’s work appeared in Italian Vogue, Lei, Linea Italiana, Madame Figaro and French Elle. After critical acclaim in Europe, he returned to Los Angeles for a short period where he photographed album covers, including a young Madonna  for the iconic “Borderline” album. He moved to New York City in the mid 1980’s and opened a studio in the Village. Read more
