Photographer Mitch Epstein takes on the visual world with formal precision, open-minded curiosity, and compassion. Internationally recognized for his exhibitions, Epstein has also produced eight monographs of his photographic work, including American Power, a five-year, twenty-five state project that considers the paired subjects of energy and power, describing a post-9/11 world that is both frightening and beautiful. American Power won the 2011 Prix Pictet award, the world’s leading prize in photography and sustainability.
Epstein’s photographs are in numerous major museum collections, including New York’s Museum of Modern Art and Whitney Museum of American Art, the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the Tate Modern in London. He has also worked as a director, cinematographer, and production designer on several films, including Dad, Salaam Bombay!, and Mississippi Masala.
