summary

Introduce briefly

Emmet Gowin is an American photographer known for his diverse range of subjects, including moths, landscapes, and intimate portraits of his wife. Born on December 22, 1941, in Danville, Virginia, Gowin studied at the Richmond Professional Institute and received his MFA in photography from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1967 [2].

Gowin's early work was influenced by his mentor, Harry Callahan, who often used his wife as a model for his photographs. Over time, Gowin expanded his subject matter to include aerial photography of industrial factories, damaged agricultural fields, and nuclear plants around the world. These images reflect his fascination with finding beauty in areas affected by both human and natural disasters [2].

Gowin's photographs capture the unique stories and moments that only he can see and hear. He believes that it is important to document and share these experiences through photography, as they would otherwise go unnoticed [2].

His works can be found in prestigious collections such as The Museum of Modern Art in New York and the J. Paul Getty Museum [2].
