George BYRNE

Springing from the creative hub of Sydney’s Balmain in the 80s and 90s, artist and photographer George Byrne made the move to the US in his thirties. After a brief period in New York, he found his new home in Los Angeles, a city whose strange transience clicked perfectly with his love of escapist imagery. With his first photography book, Post Truth, available now, his artistic identity continues to grow and flourish. We chatted to him about how Los Angeles has shaped his creative practice and why the city was the ideal fit for a photographer who finds endless inspiration just by walking down the street.
