Lewis Baltz (1945–2014) was an American photographer and key figure in the New Topographics movement, known for his austere, deadpan documentation of industrial landscapes, suburban sprawl, and the built environment. His work critically examined the impact of postwar American development and consumer culture on the natural landscape. Baltz's photographs are held in major museum collections worldwide and have commanded significant prices at auction houses including Christie's, Sotheby's, and Phillips.
