Mark Steinmetz is a photographer based in Athens, Georgia, USA. He received his MFA in Photography from Yale University in 1986. In the early 1980s, he spent a year working with Garry Winogrand in Los Angeles.
His major works include Summer Camp and The Players, in which he captures scenes of everyday life and youth in the American South through quiet, restrained black-and-white photography. Guided by chance encounters, his practice approaches subjects with curiosity and deep respect, presenting images that open onto subtle and multiple interpretations for those who engage with his work.
In 2018, he co-founded The Humid with his wife, photographer Irina Rozovsky. The Humid is a platform centered on photography, functioning as a practical and dialogical space for workshops, lectures, and exchanges among artists.
