Austin Irving (born 1984) is an American contemporary artist and photographer.
Irving was born in New York City in 1984. She is the daughter of film director David Irving and landscape designer Susan Irving. Her paternal grandparents are theater director Jules Irving and the actress Priscilla Pointer. She is the niece of the actress Amy Irving. In 2006, Irving graduated graduated cum laude from the Tisch School Of The Arts at NYU with a BFA from the Department of Photography and Imaging. [1]
Irving works with large format analog photography. She uses a Toyo-View camera and shoots on 4x5 Kodak color negative. Her images are presented as large scale photographic prints. Her artwork has been the recipient of numerous awards and has been exhibited in galleries, museums and festivals in Hong Kong, India, Germany, Lithuania, France, Switzerland, Italy, Greece, Indonesia, Budapest, and across The United States. Her photographs explore liminality [2] and metageography, [3] anthropocentrism, [4] and the tension between natural and man-made environments. [1] [5] [6] Irving has stated that her photographic practice is motivated by the wish to find relief from the "extreme internal discomfort" of living with body dysmorphic disorder. [7] Irving cites Thomas Demand, Bernd & Hilla Becher, MC Escher, René Magritte, Lynne Cohen, and James Turrell as artists whose work has impacted her practice. [8]
In 2017, she was the artist-in-residence at the National Centre for Biological Sciences in Bangalore, India. In 2019, she was an artist-in-residence at the Varda Artist Residency aboard the SS Vallejo, a historic house boat in Sausalito, California.

[25]
SHOW CAVES (2009–present) has received significant media and academic interest [26] [27] for its interrogation of the ethics and impact of ecotourism, specifically the concept of government and commercially operated show caves. As a result, Irving was asked to sit on a panel for a public forum on rural economies at Virginia Tech's annual conference for Appalachian Studies Association, where the socio-economic impact of commodifying rural arts, culture, environment, and heritage to create a tourist industry in rural Appalachia was debated. [28] This series has also been featured on The Weather Channel, [29] Yatzer, [6] and in Wired Magazine. [5] SHOW CAVES has also been honored in the International Photography Awards, [30] [31] [32] ND Awards, [33] AI-AP American Photography, [34] Budapest International Foto Awards, [35] [36] and the International Photo Grant.
