"George C. Tapan is one of the country's most famous travel photographers. Tapan's work has been published in prestigious industry publications in the Philippines and abroad, and has garnered several awards-including the Best Travel Photo award from the Asian Tourism Association (ASEANTA) and Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA) in 1990, the Kalakbay Travel Photographer of the Year award from the Philippines Department of Tourism in 1999, and the Grand Award from Northwest Airlines in 2000 for best destination photography."
"George Tapan's photos have graced the covers of many travel and travel-oriented magazines, including Mabuhay, Action Asia, Verve, and Pacifica. His coffee table books contain images that range from the mystical and spiritual, to the downright urban and trivial.
His wanderings inevitably brought him to perhaps the most photographed city in the world, the city of lights. Armed with his favorite camera and a trusty pair of walking sandals, George Tapan walked the streets of Paris and shot the city's many points of interest as well as sites uncommon to many, with particular attention to the bright colours of the French capital, which he further emphasized through solarization."
"George Tapan, the noted photographer who has also shot for Philippine Business. In our early days, George photographed geothermal steam fields in Tiwi, Albay, as well as tourism destinations for the magazine." - |
