Noah Kalina is a photographer and artist based in Lumberland, New York. His work spans portraiture, landscape and architecture, and much of it is built on returning to the same subject over many years.
In January 2000, aged nineteen and in his second year of art school in New York City, he began Everyday, a self-portrait made each day. He kept it private until 2006, when he shared the photographs online as a video and it reached an enormous audience. He still continues the project and intends to keep it going for the rest of his life. Near his home in Lumberland he returns again and again to a long stone wall on his property (The Wall), to the surrounding landscape (Lumberland), to fog, and to the eyes of his own chickens (Eyes). During the early pandemic years he drove around Sullivan County photographing houses in fog for Normal Houses, a finished series he plans to publish as a book.
His photographs have appeared in The New York Times Magazine, Wired, Dwell and Le Monde, and his clients include Google, MoMA, Gucci and Apple. He was the lead photographer for the book Cabin Porn (2015), and his own publications include PRIMED (2014), Bedmounds (2019), Tiny Flock (2020) and the zine Protect the Network (2023).
“I think the things that age, the things that really change, are the more interesting subjects,” he said in our 2026 interview.
