ON DISPLAY THROUGH JUNE 2026
This exhibition highlights Robert Maxwell’s creative vision and career, spanning several decades across commercial, editorial and fine art photography. His work forges a connection between photography’s past and present: his use of 19th century techniques like the ambrotype, as well as platinum and silver prints, contributes to the unique richness of his archive.

SECOND Floor, STUDENT Exhibitions
Presented at the Southeast Museum of Photography, these works highlight the innovative potential of Studio Art practices that merge historical processes with contemporary exploration. Each print reflects a negotiation between permanence and process, where exposure and pressure converge, resulting in pieces that serve as both records of experimentation and expressions of material inquiry. This exhibition was developed under the instruction of Stacey Fletcher Reynolds, whose teaching emphasizes experimentation and interdisciplinary practice.
