Michael George

Michael George (b. 1988) is a photographer, writer, and people-lover based out of Brooklyn, New York. Through his work, he strives to tell stories of our common humanity through travel, culture, and the underrepresented. Michael’s stories have been published by National Geographic, The New York Times, Teen Vogue, and dozens of other publications. Michael is best known for his Portrait of a Pilgrim project, a multimedia production that documents the Camino de Santiago, a 500-mile pilgrimage walk across northern Spain. He has been a guest lecturer at Yale University, and taught workshops in locations that vary from the coast of California to onboard an Amtrak train. He will soon publish his first children's book about Life at the Zoo. If you meet him, he will inevitably take your portrait. Keep up with Michael's adventures on Instagram @MichaelGeorge
