About the 2024 Juror, Byron Wolfe
Byron Wolfe (b. 1967, Alamosa, CO) uses photography and other visualization tools to tell stories that reflect upon the constructions of landscape, time, and perception. He often collaborates on long-term site-based research projects.
He has authored or co-authored six books including Drowned River: The Death and Rebirth of Glen Canyon on the Colorado (with Rebecca Solnit and Mark Klett, Radius Books, 2018) and Phantom Skies and Shifting Ground: Landscape, Culture, and Rephotography in Eadweard Muybridge’s Illustrations of Central America (with Dr. Scott Brady, Temple University Press and Radius Books, 2017).
His work is held in over thirty permanent collections around the world including The George Eastman Museum, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Getty, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston and his photographs have appeared in Harpers Magazine, The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, Orion magazine, and more.
He is a co-recipient of the Pollock-Krasner Award for Still Photography (2015), a Guggenheim Fellow (2009), and a recipient of the Santa Fe Prize for Photography for Everyday: A Yearlong Photo Diary (Chronicle Books, 2005).
