Edward Burtynsky OC RCA (born February 22, 1955) is a Canadian photographer and artist known for his large format photographs of industrial landscapes. His works depict locations from around the world that represent the increasing development of industrialization and its impacts on nature and the human existence. It is most often connected to the philosophical concept of the sublime, a trait established by the grand scale of the work he creates, though they are equally disturbing in the way they reveal the context of rapid industrialization.[2]
Burtynsky is the inaugural winner of the TED Prize for Innovation and Global Thinking in 2005.[3] In 2016 he was the receiver of the Governor General's Awards in Visual and Media Arts for his collection of works thus far.[4]
Burtynsky is an advocate for environmental conservationism and his work is deeply entwined in his advocacy. His work comments on the scars left by industrial capitalism while establishing an aesthetic for environmental devastation,[2] the sublime-horrors discussed in a number of essays on the topic of his work.[5] He sits on the board of Contact, Toronto's international festival of photography.[6]
