About
Roger Generazzo is a photographer and writer based in Brooklyn, NY. He earned his MFA in Photography from the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan, NY. His photographic practice is an exploration into the origin of a landscape – the way a place exists simultaneously as a physical site and a sanctuary of memory. He is drawn to environments characterized by their stillness and their structural complexity – landscapes like the woodland of the Fontainebleau Forest in France or the waterways of New York City, where the land and water serve as silent witnesses to the passage of time. His work seeks to reveal the atmospheric and physical essence of these global sites, transforming vast, external realities into contemplative experiences. In an era of rapid environmental transition, he tries to suggest through his images that we all need to be mindful of our landscapes and spaces because they are constantly being reshaped by human activity and climate forces.
His work has been exhibited across the United States, including the Center for Photographic Art, Carmel, CA, Photo Center NW, Seattle, WA, Allegany Museum, Cumberland, MD, Katona Museum of Art, Katona, NY, New York Photo Festival, Brooklyn, NY, Dumbo Arts Festival, Brooklyn, NY, Center for Fine Art Photography, Fort Collins, CO, and the Marin Museum of Contemporary Art, Novato, CA. His work has appeared in numerous magazines and newspapers, including The Photo Review and Fraction Magazine, and has been supported from multiple awards, grants and scholarships.
