Biography
Eduardo Fuss, an American Society of Media Photographers member (ASMP), was born in 1938 in Buenos Aires, Argentina to Polish immigrant parents. Fuss is a self-taught painter, carpenter, furniture maker, sculptor, silversmith, and “generalist” photographer. By 1978 he had taken two year-long trips photographing the United States, Argentina, and Peru. He has also photographed Spain, Jamaica, Mexico, and Canada. In the United States, the majority of his work is from New Mexico and Arizona, with several series on Colorado, Oregon, California, Texas, Maine, Nevada, Utah, and Washington. Fuss had his first photographs published in the March 1984 issue of the New Mexico Magazine in an article on Gallup's trading posts.
In addition to his published books, Fuss’ photographs have been featured in other books and articles, and have been exhibited in galleries in New York, Connecticut, Maryland, and Maine.
In 1994, he received the Benjamin Franklin Award in the Entertaining Category (Cooking/Food/Drink) for his book Chile Pepper Fever: Mine's Hotter than Yours.
Prior to moving to Santa Fe permanently in 1980, he was the curator at the Joseph Hirshhorn Private Art Collection in Connecticut. Fuss is currently a full-time free-lance photographer who specializes in editorial and stock photography. His stock photograph file contains 200,000 transparencies.
