World renowned eco-photojournalist J. Henry Fair will be appearing in Keene, NH on October 24th and 25th, 2013, at Keene State College and Antioch University New England.
Fair contributed the cover photo and a visual essay to Whole Terrain’s 20th anniversary volume with the theme of Heresy.
Through large scale aerial photo shoots and accompanying documentary research, Fair’s work explores the environmental impact of our consumer society, with subjects ranging from the impact of gas drilling, coal mining, and factory farming to the detritus of tar sands, oil spills, and mountaintop removal. In small airplanes, he circles what he calls “industrial scars” and photographs the effects these operations have on our environment with a bird’s-eye perspective.
