Biography

Lucas Foglia (born 1983) is an American fine-art photographer who makes stories about people in nature. His exhibitions and books combine documentary realism, intimate portraiture, and tableau. Critics have connected his photographs to the legacy of the New Topographics, noting both their attention to human-altered environments and their empathetic engagement with the people depicted.

 

Foglia grew up on a small farm on Long Island, New York. He received a BA in Art Semiotics from Brown University in 2005 and an MFA in photography from Yale University in 2010. His 2024 Guggenheim Fellowship supported Constant Bloom, a series tracing the longest known butterfly migration as a metaphor for human connections across international borders.

 

Foglia's prints have been exhibited and collected by institutions including Foam Fotografiemuseum Amsterdam, the International Center of Photography, the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the Victoria and Albert Museum. He has published six books: A Natural Order (2012), Frontcountry (2014), Human Nature (2017), Summer After (2021), Living on Lava (2024), and Constant Bloom (2025).

 

Combining art and advocacy, Foglia shares his photographs with the people he portrays, news organizations, and NGOs.
