About the artist:
George centers her work around the black female narrative, portraying multiple themes of self-expression, representation, and reconceptualization. George celebrates the complex identities of black women filtered through the lens of a female New Orleanian. Through compelling conceptualization and portraiture, George creates a spectrum of stories that champions the freedom of black femme expression.
“We all have a perspective. We all have ways we self identify. Oftentimes our stories and identities are assumed, misconstrued, and told from another’s perspective of us. Notre Recit is an opportunity, a stage, used to tell the story of black women, by a black woman. This story, unlike many throughout history, is unmistakably for us. For someone who doesn’t see themselves as fine art, this is a sign of reassurance. Weather it’s the female image many of us see either within ourselves or the woman we grew up with, I wanted it to be clear who is finally controlling the narrative, our narrative.”
-Delaney George
Delaney George is a New Orleans-raised photographer, director, and visual artist. In her practice, George portrays the black femme narrative through a series of photoshoots she fully conceptualizes. Most concepts come to George in a series of dreams or visions. George’s work aims to extract feeling from the viewer by consistently portraying themes of nostalgia, femininity, and history re-imagined.
George’s work has been said to be a side of fine art photography that is both a contemporary ode to the past and a safe space to display figures in spaces they aren’t commonly represented or historically welcomed. She has been published in The LA Times, Because of Them We Can, Glamour Magazine, Essence Magazine, and more for her larger than life concepts and approach to fine art photography.
