Peter Kayafas
Peter Kayafas (born July 30, 1971) is an American photographer, publisher, and educator based in New York City. He creates black and white photographs that are "simple and spare, yet quietly overpowering with their evocation of a history on a scale beyond that of individual human lives."
Kayafas is the Director of the Eakins Press Foundation and is a Guggenheim Fellow in photography. He is an associate professor of photography at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, and is Co-Chair of the Board of Directors of the Corporation of Yaddo.
Kayafas's photographs are in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the New York Public Library, New Orleans Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the RISD Museum, and SFMOMA, and there are four monographs of his photographs in print.
