Robert Langham is a film and darkroom artist native to the upper Blackfork watershed in Smith County, Texas. Since 1971 he has primarily worked with subject matter from that ecosystem. His work is included in regional and national collections. He is a 2022 Guggenheim Fellow, and the photographs published here comprise his fellowship portfolio.
Artist Statement:
In the West I began to look less at at subject matter and started working directly with the light. I followed it in shadow, in projection and reflection.
