Fay Godwin

Fay Godwin (1931–2005) was a British photographer celebrated for her black-and-white landscape work. Born in Berlin and raised in England, she developed a distinctive style that combined lyrical atmosphere with close attention to place and human impact on the land. Godwin worked extensively on book projects and became widely known for collaborations with writers, notably Ted Hughes on *Remains of Elmet* (1979), which paired her photographs of Yorkshire with Hughes’s poems. Her images of the British countryside, including coastlines and moorland, helped shape late-20th-century perceptions of landscape photography. Godwin also served as president of the Royal Photographic Society.
