Preston Gannaway | Remember Me
“For over 20 years, I’ve been photographing a New Hampshire boy following the death of his mother when he was 4 years old. The interplay of everyday details, landscapes and portraits work together to create an intimate longitudinal essay on time, loss and mortality.
Preston Gannaway (b. 1977) is a documentary photographer and queer artist whose work examines the relationships between individual, community and landscape.
Her first book, Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea, explored the changing character of a seaside neighborhood in Virginia. Her second monograph, from an on-going project now in its 21st year, was published by GOST Books in the fall of 2023. Remember Me focuses on a boy growing up in New Hampshire following the death of his mother at age 4. The interplay of everyday details, landscapes and portraits work together to create an intimate longitudinal essay on time, loss and mortality. The beginning of the series was awarded the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for feature photography.
Her photographs and artist books are held in private and public collections including the High Museum, Chrysler Museum of Art, Museum of Fine Arts Houston, Duke University and Stanford University. Her work has been shown in solo and group exhibitions in venues around the world.
She has been an artist in residence at Light Work (2018), the Visual Studies Workshop (2026) and a Pollner Distinguished Professor at the University of Montana (2019). She served on the Board of Directors of Women Photograph from 2019-2024. Born and raised in North Carolina, she lives in a cabin in Sonoma County, California.
