Meet George Ross

It all Began with a Praktica Camera in 1977

Photography is more than just a profession to me; it’s a lifelong journey of passion and exploration. My journey began in the mid-70s with a Praktica manual camera, a far cry from today’s automated devices. It was a challenge, but with each success, my love for photography deepened. There was no turning back. I owe that particular camera for instilling in me the importance of technique and adaptability. It pushed me to learn and grow with every new setting, inspiring me to explore unconventional approaches to photography. My work is a testament to my creativity, adaptability, and versatility. Photography has taken me on incredible adventures, exposing me to the vibrant beauty of the world. It was only natural that my passion transformed into a profession. While George Ross Photography may sound simple, I take pride in my ability to excel in any situation. My goal remains constant: to capture the essence of the moment in its purest form. Let the photograph tell the story. If you have a story to share, I would be honored to collaborate with you.

Enjoy this Variety of Photographs of George at Work in Different Environments

photographer, on a cold day, shooting a bridal party on bonnet shores, with jamestown bridge, rhode island, in the background

On a very cold New Years Eve day, we photographed the bridal party on the beach at Bonnet Shores, Rhode Island, with the Jamestown Bridge in the background. I was wearing  hat, gloves and a camel hair overcoat while the ladies braved the cold. Somehow they were able to look incredible glamorous while dealing with the bone-chilling cold.

Lyn and Chris wanted their wedding portraits taken at the point Judith Lighthouse. Working with the US Coast Guard, I obtained permission for the shoot and while it was a tad blustery we obtained great results.

Sometimes you have to be uncomfortable and get dirty to get the shot, or in this case many shots. I am picture here lying in the mud at the Bold’r Dash obstacle race. I spent 6-hours lying in the mud!

When photographing sporting events, George loves inclement weather, the nastier the weather the better. Once the Aquatech (Gore-Tex) rain gear is on the camera, bring on the weather.

What an exciting event, photographing Lisa on her 2.4-mile swim across Narraganset Bay under the shadows of the Newport Bridge. For this shoot, I left my Canon EOS gear at home and opted for a GoPro.

George Ross, Sports Photographer, Rhode Island

Getting down and dirty is often needed top get the best shots. On a beautiful fall day, my spot was photographing all the athlete crawling under the wire in the mud pool at the Southwick, MA,  Rugged Maniac event.

Often times at any type of event great results can be accomplished by turning around at taking photos of the onlooking audience. here, George is photographing wedding guests watching the Bride and Groom dance.

On of the more important moments at a wedding is the first dance between the newly appointed husband and wife, here George can be seen following the action to create some very special former memories.

an extremely ,muddy photographer after a day shooting a muddy obstacle race

If you spend 6-hours lying in the you get muddy. Fortunately, to protect the camera George uses Aquatech rain covers which only leave the lens glass exposed and to protect that a UV filter is used and so ‘bring on the mud.’

In this shot, George can be seen standing in the shallow ocean while photographing surfers riding the large waves initiated by a fall tropical storm.

Photographing 5K races are very tough to photograph because the race is not long enough to stretch out the mid-pack. With runners breaking the tape at the rate of 100 per minute, stand high on a step ladder giver the photographer the best opportunity to capture as many runners as possible.
