SPEAKER

J Henry Fair

‍

J Henry Fair, based in NYC and Berlin, is a photographer and environmental activist, best known for his “chillingly beautiful” (Audubon Magazine) environmental aerial photos.

He holds a degree in journalism from Fordham University, and is widely published: from The New York Times, National Geographic, Vanity Fair, TIME, and New York, to Die Zeit, The Guardian, and Le Figaro. He has been featured on Television networks Arte, TTT, CBC News, and The Today Show. 

Fair is the winner of the 2019 and the 2025 “Environmental Photographer of the Year” award, and the 2012 “Earth Through A Lens” Award and was shortlisted for the “Sony World Photography Awards”.

Among the 3 solo books Mr. Fair has published, he is best known for his “Industrial Scars” series, about which, Roberta Smith, chief art critic of The NY Times said “The vivid color photographs of J Henry Fair lead an uneasy double life as potent records of environmental pollution and as ersatz evocations of abstract painting…information and form work together, to devastating effect.”
