Alex Webb, a member of Magnum Photos since 1976, has published eight books including Hot Light/Half Made Worlds, Under a Grudging Sun, Crossings: Photographs from the U.S. Mexican Border, and Istanbul: City of a Hundred Names. He has worked for many major publications including National Geographic, Life, The New York Times Magazine, GEO, and is the recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship, a Hasselblad Foundation Grant, and the Leica Medal of Excellence. Webb’s work is represented by Hasted-Hunt Gallery in NYC and has been exhibited widely in the U.S. and Europe in museums such as the International Center of Photography, the High Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Museum of Contemporary Art in San Diego.

Rebecca Norris Webb, originally a poet and journalist, had her first NYC solo exhibition at Ricco/Maresca Gallery in 2006, the same year her first book, The Glass Between Us, was published with support from a Blue Earth Alliance Grant. Her series, which uses text and images to explore the complicated relationship between people and animals in cities, has also been included in several group exhibitions, including “Why Look at Animals?” at the George Eastman House. She is currently working on a series of photographs in the American West called My Dakota. Rebecca teaches photography workshops with Alex in the U.S., Italy, Canada, Mexico, Cuba, Turkey, and Spain.
