OCONN Studio is the creative lens of British–Irish photographer George O’Connor, based between Liverpool and Leipzig. His photography blends clean composition with emotional depth, shaped by a background in art, design and personal experience.

George’s style draws from the sculptural clarity of Scandinavian design, the calm focus of Japanese and Korean aesthetics, and the functional elegance of the Bauhaus. The result is photography that is considered, composed, and quietly expressive.

Combining the clarity of high-resolution digital photography with the expressive depth of medium-format film, George chooses his tools to suit the tone and pace of each project. Working with individuals, artists, curators or brands, George builds each image with care, treating light and shadow as part of the structure, not just the atmosphere - whether on location or in the studio.

What ties his work together is a respect for simplicity and a belief that stillness can be just as powerful as spectacle. Every frame is crafted to last - not just to impress, but to resonate.

OCONN Studio is for those who value thoughtful, concept-led photography. Work that doesn’t shout, but stays with you.

Photography, as form.
As feeling.
As something human.
