About
From Found to Home:
A Ten-year Journey
In 2014, I was a stock trader on Wall Street – a fish out of water nearing a crossroad in both my career and my life. It was when I was feeling most lost that photography found me. I left New York for Northern New Mexico and an unplanned, itinerant life unfolded in front of me – one of countless nights spent staring at stucco ceilings, dawns looking out at unfamiliar vistas, episodes of grief and moments of joy, and of encounters with some of the true masters of our time.
Join me for an inspirational, chronological journey from the vistas of Cerro Pedernal to the silhouettes of Fuji San, and places in between.
Also check out George’s Western Light, Eastern Wind workshop, starting Sept. 16th, 2024.
Bio
George Nobechi born in 1980 in Tokyo to a Japanese mother and Canadian father, moved to Canada at age 11. After the sudden death of his father while he was a history student at the University of British Columbia (UBC), he was introduced to the financial industry in Tokyo, and later, New York. There he encountered the Photoville photography festival in 2014, which inspired him to change his life.
He set out on a journey that lasted nearly three years and met and was influenced by photographers such as Arno Rafael Minkkinen, Kate Breakey, Arthur Meyerson, and Sam Abell, who encouraged him to pursue photography as a career.
His 15 solo exhibitions featuring quiet observations of the wonders of daily life have been held in Japan, the U.S., and Europe, and he has received numerous international awards, including Critical Mass Top 50 Awards in 2017 and 2021. His work is also in the collection of the Center for Creative Photography in the United States and has been featured regularly in publications such as Huffington Post, Newsweek Japan, Asahi Camera, Tokyo Shimbun, PDN, etc.
Nobechi is also the Director for Nobechi Creative, which among numerous events and exhibitions, produced Evenings with the Masters®, a pandemic-era online talk series featuring international photographic masters, which raised $70,000 toward numerous charitable causes. He is also the Creative Director for Karuizawa Foto Fest, a photo festival in his hometown of Karuizawa, Nagano, Japan.
