HEADSHOT REFRESH EOFY
Time for that all important headshot refresh! Appearance is everything and you only have seven seconds so they say to make the right impression. So why not contact George for Sydney’s best and most professional headshots and portraits. I specialise in working at the ‘big end of town’ with the C suite, board members and CEO’s. Making a connection with the subject creates the right environment of a great headshot or professional portrait and that’s what I’m famous for! So what are you waiting for? Contact me immediately for the best heads hot in Sydney!
Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!
Super pleased to be a finalist in the HeadOn Photography Awards for Portraiture 2022. You will definitely recognise my subject but I can't reveal until the 5th Nov opening! Thanks again to the indefatigable Moshe Rosenzveig OAM, the incredible HeadOn team and congrats to the other finalists. Incidentally I'm also a semi-finalist in the HeadOn Landscape prize as well.
It’s increasingly difficult to be selected these days with literally thousands of entries so to be a finalist for the portraiture and a semi finalist fo the Landscape i’m more than pleased.
I do love a great location portrait with a fabulous architectural backdrop. It makes my job infinitely more interesting instead of grey man in grey office on grey computer! This Sydney law firms offices are in a very new city space hence the lovely planning. Great professional headshots or portraits rely on not only skill but the environment which they are created.

FINALIST MARTIN KANTOR PORTRAIT PRIZE 2021
The inimitable Kate Mulvany up close and personal will be hanging in the Martin Kantor Portrait Prize in August as part of the Ballarat International Foto Biennale 2021. It's on every two years and I would dearly love to make it down to the festival which looks like it will be huge. With all the Covid dramas that is looking a bit doubtful.... It’s funny how photography prizes work sometimes. I’m a double finalist which means I have not one but two portraits selected out of a total of twenty-eight all up. So fingers crossed!

Happy belated Easter!
Well a bit late I know but lots of people are still on hols so I thought I would post a street photograph of a rabbit which is my homage to Easter photographically that is! The shop which is sadly long gone was on Stanmore Road in Sydney’s inner west not far from where we live in Leichhardt. I love the old shops which are slowly disappearing….
‘Costume Hire’ is actually available on my art website in limited editions of 15 signed and embossed. Check it out and a whole lot more atworks which I’m very proud of: www.GeorgeFetting.art
Fave Portrait Blanch
I had the pleasure of photographing Blanche d'Alpuget a little while ago for the amazing Australian Story on the ABC. I have to say she was hilarious and sometimes better known as wife to the one and only Bob Hawke former Prime Minister of Australia. Well Bob is sadly gone but Blanche is still round flying the flag thankfully. A very rewarding photographic shoot with some lasting portraits for my portfolio.
PORTRAIT - ADAM CULLEN HeadOn Finalist 2020
Well I’m over the moon my collaboration with artist Adam Cullen taken a few years before his untimely death was a finalist in the HeadOn Portrait Awards 2020.
Titled "Portrait of a beautiful mind Adam Cullen - Blue Mountains" the time with the artist was very special now that he is no longer with us. Generous in so many ways he was a tortured soul who ultimately was set free way to early. His work controversial to some will stand the test of time.
The opening night via Zoom with so many international artists was very cool with big thanks to Moshe and Osher for hosting.
HeadOn is global monster of a competition and it really is a challenge to be selected asa finalist. It has come very long way from the early days.
HEADON PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAIT PRIZE FINALIST 2020!
Well it couldn’t have come at a better time with all the craziness going on right now. I can’t quite reveal the subject of my portrait yet however he is very well known! I’ve been entering the HeadOn Portrait Prize for many years now and it is increasingly more difficult to be selected, and so much more rewarding when you are! The virtual opening night is May 1 so finger crossed!

Australian Life 2019 Art & About Sydney Prize Finalist
George Fetting was one of the 28 finalist in the Australian Life 2019 Art & About Sydney Prize, one of Australia’s biggest annual photography prizes recently exhibited in Hyde Park.
Zufi Diptych Portrait by George Fetting 2019
George Fetting’s Portrait titled ZUFI – Diptych was a finalist in both the Bowness Art Prize 2019 (in colour) as well as Australian Life 2019 ( in black & white).
The portrait features a 22-year-old woman from Canberra now living in Inner West Sydney. Zufi was born in Ethiopia and adopted by an Australian couple at an age of 5 months old. Zufi's adoption story is a happy one – something she is grateful for. Zufi moved to Sydney as a Youth Ambassador for Adopt Change and Ambassador for Future Women (CH9) as well as to begin her studies at the Actors Centre of Australia. After graduating in 2018 she balances work as an actor with her commitment as an Adopt for Change Ambassador working along side other Adopt Change Ambassadors like Hugh Jackman & Deborah Lee Furness who strive to provide every child with a safe, nurturing and stable family upbringing.
Wow I was very pleasantly surpised to be selected as a finalist in the Bowness Photography Prize for 2019. This is one Australia’s most respected photography prizes and I have to say very difficult to be hung. "The Prize has become an important survey of contemporary photographic practice and one of the most prestigious prizes in the country". I'm in some very esteemed company and am so looking forward to the opening night at the Monash Gallery of Art with the announcement of the winner on 10th OCT.

BEST CORPORATE LOCATION PHOTOGRAPHY IN SYDNEY
I photographed the CEO of the Thales Group Chris Jenkins for a features piece that was published in the Australian Newspaper. It was a commission by the company to provide images suitable for a magazine style spread of portraits. With so many years of press experience on the Sydney Morning Herald it was second nature and to me and we started on the top of the building out at Olympic Park. I just love the location shoots and producing great professional business portraits.
BEAUTIFUL NATURAL LIGHT PORTRAITS
One of my trademark natural light portraits converted to gorgeous black + white of Chelsea Andrejic former principal ballet dancer and now coach. I started out shooting natural light many years ago and have done a lot of photography in the studio with controlled lighting since , but you can’t beat the delicate diffuse glow of from the sky above.
