Byron Wolfe (b. 1967) is an American photographer whose work explores landscape, history, environmental change and the ways photographs shape our understanding of place. Born in Alamosa, Colorado, Wolfe studied evolutionary biology and anthropology before earning his M.F.A. in photography from Arizona State University. While there, he began working with photographer Mark Klett on Third Views, Second Sights, a project that revisited locations photographed during 19th century surveys of the American West. Wolfe and Klett have continued to collaborate on projects that combine historic and contemporary photographs, maps, field research and digital imaging to reveal how landscapes—and perceptions of them—change over time. Their Yosemite in Time project re-examined iconic views by photographers including Carleton Watkins, Eadweard Muybridge and Ansel Adams, while later projects investigated the Grand Canyon and Glen Canyon. Wolfe has also pursued independent projects examining everyday experience and the passage of time. A Guggenheim Fellow, he taught for many years at California State University, Chico, before joining Temple University’s Tyler School of Art and Architecture, where he is professor and chair of the art department.
