About Henry Hauser
Photography has always been part of my life. I learned by watching my dad, Pierre Hauser. Having grown up in NYC and later lived briefly in India, I naturally gravitated early on toward candid scenes of hectic city life. Those environments taught me to find clean compositions inside movement: gestures, juxtapositions, and small moments of humanity unfolding in the middle of crowded places.
During the pandemic, my focus shifted. As travel and daily life changed, I found myself spending more time in open, quieter spaces. I started exploring the rural and wilderness landscapes of the American West and Midwest, and I fell in love with the sense of scale and stillness I found there. My work gradually became more minimalist: wide, empty frames; big skies; long horizons; and the occasional tiny figure or animal that gives that space a sense of life and perspective.
