George Pickow (February 11, 1922 – December 10, 2010) was a photographer and filmmaker who chronicled the folk and jazz music scenes in the United States, United Kingdom, and other countries.
His photographs depict many musical artists, ranging from Louis Armstrong, Little Richard, and Theodore Bikel, to Pete Seeger and Judy Collins, as well as visual artists such as Edward Hopper and the model Pamela Green. As a filmmaker, he helped chronicle the Newport Folk Festival and the Cornish Hobby Horse tradition.
In 1950, Pickow married American folk singer Jean Ritchie, and the two remained together until his death.
