Nathan Farb grew up in Lake Placid and has been examining the Adirondack Landscape for over 50 years. Combining romanticism with a probing scientific eye, he is considered the preeminent photographer of The Adirondacks. His 1985 Rizzoli book, “The Adirondacks”, became the standard by which Adirondack photography is measured. He has also published two books and many essays on the Galapagos Islands. His award winning coverage of the Yellowstone fires and Exxon oil spill for the New York Times Magazine established Farb as an leading interpreter of nature. Farb lived and worked in New York City for many years where he was well known for his avant garde multimedia work. Farb’s 1980 photographic essay on Soviet society, ”The Russians,” was published as a book in five countries and in magazines throughout the world. His works are included in many public and private collections including The Museum of Modern Art. Farb is a former professor of photography and mixed media at Rutgers University. He has been given honorary Doctor of Arts degrees by St Lawrence University and SUNY. His newest book, “Adirondack Wilderness”, a collaboration with The Nature Conservancy, will be published by Rizzoli this Fall. He has worked and lived at his studio in Jay, NY for the past twenty years.
