Affinity is a series of exquisitely detailed close-up color portraits of captive birds, reptiles, and mammals in a studio environment. Employing a stark black backdrop, these dramatic photographs illuminate subtle idiosyncrasies in each subject as they confront Wilson’s camera. The result is remarkably captivating as Wilson utilizes a refined technique and rapport typically reserved for human sitters.

In American Motel Signs Steve Fitch crisscrossed the United States documenting the colorful dynamic, advertisements inviting weary traveler to park their car and pack it in for the night. Tinged with nostalgia, these delightfully garish motel signs lovingly recall a mid 20th Century road culture speaking to a sense of independence and freedom central to the contemporary American identity. The exhibition celebrates the release of Fitch’s new monograph American Motel Signs 1980–2008, just released by London based publisher The Velvet Cell, and the artist will be on hand to sign copies during the Opening.

Rachel Phillips: Fixed
photo-eye Gallery is thrilled to publish Fixed, a new series by artist Rachel Phillips to the Photographer's Showcase. Fixed follows this summer’s Divinations series, and continues to explore notions of antique ephemera, vernacular photography, and photography's role in the Everyday. Injecting the work with a sense of play, Fixed is created by Phillip's fictional alter-ego Madge Cameron (b. 1935) and the Founding Archivist at the Pacific Library Privé and Special Collections. Each work is the product of a colorful 'interruption' during the process of digitizing the library's vast photographic holdings. Fixed celebrates both the history of early photography and the shared humanity a simple portrait can convey.
