Born in Ohio in 1963 and today based in the Hudson Valley, New York, Raymond Meeks’ photographs and books center on memory and place, how landscape shapes us even in its absence, and how the circular moments and events of life unravel and overlap, creating new meanings. Meeks is the sixth laureate of Immersion, a French-American photography commission sponsored by Fondation d’entreprise Hermès; exhibitions from this commission were shown at the International Center of Photography, New York, and the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson, Paris. Meeks’ books include The Inhabitants (2023) with writer George Weld, and he is the recipient of a Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship in Photography and a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant.
