9/11 Tribute: Capturing a Privileged Moment by Henry Leutwyler

Season 4 Education & Community History

For over 40 years, Henry Leutwyler has been capturing the essence of people and objects. In this episode of Saint Louis In Tune, he discusses the romantic process of photography and how a still life is a portrait of an object. His portraits of 9/11 recovered objects in the September 2021 issue of National Geographic vibrate with honor and tribute. The photographs "Sacred Dust" can be seen at the Foley Gallery in New York City September 10-26.

Henry Leutwyler Profile Photo
Henry Leutwyler

Photographer

Born in Switzerland in 1961, Henry Leutwyler is a self-taught photographer with a stubborn streak and unflappable love for the medium. His grandfather and father were both printers. He decided not to follow their path, instead to travel and photograph, soaking up color and culture from around the world. After having failed not once, but twice the entry exam at one of Switzerland’s leading photography schools, he opened his own photo studio in Lausanne. In 1985, Leutwyler moved to Paris where he rapidly established himself as an editorial photographer. A decade later, Leutwyler moved to New York City and resides in downtown Manhattan.
