J Henry Fair is an American photographer, environmental activist, and co-founder of the Wolf Conservation Center in South Salem, New York. Born in Charleston, South Carolina, he currently lives and works in New York City.
“The coast is the greatest asset of South Carolina,” Henry has noted. “People ock to it because it is gorgeous. What many may not know is that fully half of its 183 miles of coastline is inaccessible, which has kept large swaths of it beautiful.” On the whole of the east coast, he emphasizes, South Carolina’s coast is “really unique, extremely special.”
With his photographs, Fair has called attention to environmental and political problems in di erent regions of
the world. He has had touring photography exhibits in the USA, Europe, and Asia. Additionally, he travels around the world, giving environmental symposia to teach audiences about consumer responsibility and environmental awareness. Fair’s work has been published in The New York Times and magazines National Geographic, Vanity Fair, TIME, and New York and featured on the programs Today and Marketplace, television and radio, respectively.
Fair has collaborated on high-priority issues with environmental organizations such as NRDC, the Rainforest Alliance, Waterkeeper Alliance, and the Open Space Institute.
