4.2 Subject and Environment

Pedro Isztin
Pedro Isztin
Pedro Isztin’s photographs reflect the richness of his diverse heritage. Born in 1964 to a Colombian mother and Hungarian father, Isztin lives in Ottawa, Canada. Choosing subjects from around the world, his work portrays a sympathetic connection to nature and humanity. His recent work explores monolithic structures, inner life and outer world, the subtlety of a human gesture, and studies of land and humankind’s influence on nature.
