The Art of Paying Attention

National Geographic–published photographer Robbie George captures the presence hiding in plain sight.

Robbie George is a National Geographic–published fine-art nature photographer whose work focuses on the quiet, powerful moments where wild landscapes and human experience meet. He has spent more than 20 years photographing the natural world, from the high Rockies to the rugged New England coast.

Robbie’s connection to Maine began through Four Season Farm, where he has spent time immersed in local farm culture. His two sons are the grandchildren of famed organic farmer Eliot Coleman, and Robbie’s time on the farm deepened his appreciation for Maine’s working landscapes, changing seasons, and intimate relationship with the environment.

After meeting his wife, Katrina, the two brought their passion for wellness to the community by opening HOTWORX Portland — creating a place where holistic health, nature, and personal transformation intersect. His photography continues to be an extension of this philosophy: slowing down, paying attention, and reconnecting with the rhythms that matter.

The Artist's Story Behind the Lens

Robbie discovered photography as a way to document the natural world long before he made it his life’s work. What began as a curiosity turned into a daily practice — studying light, weather, wildlife behavior, and the landscapes that shaped him. Over time, the camera became less of a tool and more of a way of seeing.

In Maine, Robbie is most drawn to autumn forests, seascapes, stormy coastlines, quiet farm moments, and wildlife. He describes Maine as a place “where the seasons don’t just change — they express themselves,” and he aims to capture the emotion and texture of those transitions.

His work blends patience with instinct. Many of his favorite images come from long pre-dawn hikes, time spent alone along the coast, or waiting motionless in a field for a fox, a deer, or an osprey to reveal itself.

Photography, for Robbie, is a form of grounding — a way to slow down, listen, and reconnect. It also mirrors the philosophy he brings into HOTWORX Portland: wellness as presence, intention, and everyday renewal.
