Hello there,

Which one is correct?

I think it's unfair that those people are unaware of who is the author of the picture.

I've never heard 'the author of the picture'.
'Author' normally relates to writing.

I'd expect
eg . . . are unaware of who took (or painted if it is a painting) the picture.
