Javier Griffey (b. 2000) is a photographic essayist whose practice investigates what the photograph keeps and what it loses, and whether the failure to cross that distance fully might itself be a form of truth. He is a 2026 Keystone Award Fellow at the Silver Eye Center for Photography. He holds an MFA from the School of the Arts at Columbia University (2025) and a BA in Studio Art from Moravian University (2023, cum laude).
