Photographer Terri Weifenbach finds inspiration in the natural world. From noble trees and elegant flowers to powerful clouds and the twirling acrobatics of birds, her work shows reverence for nature. The interplay of crisp focus and dissolving forms in her poetic pictures illuminate details we can clearly understand while also reminding us nature is filled with mystery and wonder.
Bookmaking has always been central to Weifenbach’s work—throughout her career, she has published over twenty photobooks. She was the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2015 and her photographs have been widely exhibited internationally. Terri Weifenbach was born in New York City, raised in Washington D.C., and now lives and works in France. (less)

In his work, which is part-autobiography and part-fantasy, photographer Tommy Kha explores fragmentation, the immigrant experience, and the evolving nature of identity. He reflects on family history, his hometown of Memphis, Tennessee, his own life, and how the past reverberates in the present. Often infused with a sense of humor, Kha’s performative photographs playfully include himself, or extensions of himself in the forms of a mask or cutouts, in scenes before the camera, questioning what shapes identity and challenging the ways it can be represented in photography.
He is the 2021 recipient of the Next Step Award and his monograph Tommy Kha: Half, Full, Quarter was published by Aperture in 2023. Tommy Kha lives and works between Brooklyn, NY and Memphis, TN and currently teaches at Yale University. (less)
