Hubby utilizes studio photography in her practice in traditional forms as well as a basis for digital collage and immersive installations.

Hubby on her use of photography:

I often use photography in the first stage of creating a new work. It captures “the real,” in my process of having the imagined come to life. 

Hubby on her photography in the series:

The self portraits created for the Positively Earnest exhibition show me in idealized landscapes. It’s a physical act of visualization, based on the power pose, which science has shown to lower cortisol, increase testosterone, and heighten feelings of empowerment and confidence. The posture is a manifestation of a body’s ability to change the mind. The words on my sweatpants communicate the qualities I aspire to feeling and radiating. The humor employed was a wink to the Juicy sweatpant craze, reimagined.

Hubby on her photography in the series:

The images in THE SEXUAL BRONZE SHOW exhibitions are pure photography—carefully shot in a controlled studio environment. The series of diptychs feature a before and after portrait of my coupled objects. The first photograph shows them as individuals, like lovers who are sizing each other up/getting to know each other. The second photograph shows them interacting with each other, exposing how they might behave behind closed doors. I shot them as a commercial advertising photographer might, on a glossy white background surrounded by light. The objects are fully exposed and seem to be relishing in being laid bare.

Hubby on the photography in the series:

The Home Show works entailed full-sized photographs of myself printed on silk hung outside a private home. Photography was essential to satisfy the project’s voyeuristic intent of capturing private moments. The images depict scenes of what I would be doing in my own home and their installation in turn protected the privacy of the actual homeowners. It’s an investigation into the idea of home, privacy, personal choices, what one surrounds themselves with, and who is allowed in to see. Acts of privacy become revelations of self.
