George P. Perez is an artist that creates photographic works through impractical techniques such as long exposure, digital screen shot appropriation, and/or scanography. Perez’s work is based on banal, mundane or quotidian environments he interacts with on a day-to-day basis and/or his interpretation of present day society, either in real life or the digital realm, exploring the history of portraiture along side. Images are documented and manipulated to alter the meaning into another perception of a particular common narrative In process he utilize's a technique of long or extended exposures by combining digital photography and a handheld light source to expose and capture the subjects or objects in complete darkness. When creating these events or scenes, he's physically in front of the camera during the length of the exposure. These images are only made possible when light is present and reflected off the exterior of a surface. Though not visibly present in the images, his physical existence is embedded in the document.
