Austin Granger
Photographer
Born in San Francisco in 1970, Granger has worked as a baker, house painter, naval radar operator and camera salesman. He first began to photograph while studying philosophy in college as a way to get out of his head. Preferring to use traditional film cameras, Granger has come to see his photography as a spiritual practice – a way in which to shape his life and enrich his relationship with the world. He likes motorcycles a lot too.
Publications have included B&W Magazine (2003); Emulsion Magazine (2006); West Marin Review (2012); View Camera Magazine (2013) Looking Glass Magazine (2014); Manifest Magazine (2015); and Revue Météque (2015).
Exhibitions have included A Street Gallery, Santa Rosa, CA; CAC Gallery, Santa Rosa, CA; North Light Gallery, Napa, CA; Viewpoint Gallery, Sacramento, CA; and forthcoming Lightbox Gallery, Astoria, OR (March, 2018).
Austin Granger is the author of Elegy from the Edge of a Continent: Photographing Point Reyes.
