“Diversity has been the buzzword in the fashion industry of late, and few understand its importance quite as well as the rising young photographers Idris & Tony.” – Jonathan Shia, Models.com



Idris and Tony have been combining their technical and creative skills since 2005 to produce Portrait, Fashion and Landscape images. Idris Rheubottom is a native New Yorker and graduate of Emory University in the field of Economics, but has always been intrigued by the power of the camera. Tony Craig grew up in rural Illinois, moved to New York City and enrolled at The New School University with a focus on documentary filmmaking. Together, their work has been featured in film, television, and international publications.

PHOTO EXHIBITIONS



In the Spring of 2009, the New York based photography duo Idris Rheubottom and Tony Craig and Detroit-based photographer Cybelle Codish collaborated to capture a series of still images that would portray the life and landscape of modern day Native Americans. Accompanying a documentary filmmaking crew, under the direction of Laguna filmmaker Billy Luther, the three non-Native photographers were given intimate access inside one of Luther’s own Native American tribes as it prepared for the ancient tradition of Grab Day. Grab Day is a celebration of abundance, thanks, and renewal that occurs within the villages of the Laguna Pueblo Reservation where outside photography and cameras are not allowed. In these images presented, a story of contrast is shared between the ways of the Laguna people, their ancestors, and the world that surrounds them today.

Over fifty prints of this rare subject matter honoring the land, people, and tradition of the Laguna Pueblo Tribe have been carefully curated for this exhibition. The work of Codish, Craig, and Rheubottom will be published and exhibited, independently and in conjunction with Luther’s film. – N. Bird Runningwater
