Hey Georgie - Away From The Camera

Hi, I’m Pete George — but everyone calls me Georgie. I’ve spent a lifetime behind the camera, capturing moments and learning from them. And mate, have I learned a lot along the way.
This little trailer sets the scene for what’s to come — honest conversations about life, creativity, and the lessons that sit just outside the frame. It’s not about gear, filters, or perfect shots; it’s about people, perspective, and purpose.
If you’re a Gen Xer who’s been around long enough to know life doesn’t always go to plan — this one’s for you.

Pete George — known to many as “Georgie” — is a photographer, storyteller, and mental health advocate based on the Gold Coast. Through Georgie – Away From The Camera, he shares honest reflections on life, creativity, and the stories behind the lens.

What is Hey Georgie - Away From The Camera?

Forget the perfect shot.
Hey Georgie – Away From The Camera is about everything that happens when you're not looking through the lens. It’s about the messy, beautiful, and very real moments that make us who we are.
My name is Pete George, but you can call me Georgie. I know what it’s like to get knocked down—I walked away from photography entirely while battling my own mental health struggles. Three things brought me back: my wife Jane, my camera, and the island of Bali. They reminded me of my purpose and the real power of a single image.

This podcast is my way of sharing what I’ve learned about life, creativity, and the ever-changing photography world. I'm not here to be perfect; I'm here to be honest. If you’ve ever found yourself lost and needed to find your way back, or if you just want to hear an honest story, then this is the show for you.

Hi, and welcome to the Georgie away from the camera podcast. Hi. I'm Pete George, but all my friends call me Georgie. I'm a photographer, storyteller, who spent a lifetime capturing moments and learning from them, and boy, have I learned over the years. This show has come about because it extends from the camera and into life in general.

Speaker 1:

I've battled mental illness. I've stepped away from the camera, and I've found my way back, and this time it's with purpose. This show is where I share what I've learned along the way. It's nothing flash. It's called Georgie away from the camera for a reason, but there won't be heaps and heaps of videos.

Speaker 1:

The videos will be when I need to tell a story. The audio is for when I need to share a message so that you can listen at your own pace undistracted and enjoy the episode, not just flip past it. So this show isn't about gear or perfect shots or anything like that. It's about life and how I see it. As a Gen Xer, they're the people after baby boomers.

Speaker 1:

We have a lot to share, and this is what this show is all about. It's about sharing what I've learned, how I've learned it, and the lessons along the way, not just with photography, but with life. So make sure you share this show with all your friends and family because there's gotta be something in it for everyone, and make sure that you follow it on your favorite platform. And the website for this show is paygeorgie.com.au. Thanks for listening to this quick little episode.
