What Are You Looking At?: Holly Andres - The Fallen Fawn

Published: April 30, 2016, 5:51 p.m.

b'Holly Andres is not just one of the best working photographers in Portland \\u2014 she\\u2019s also one of the busiest. Her work has appeared in Vanity Fair, the New York Times, Elle Magazine, and has shown her work nationally and internationally. She\\u2019s won strong reviews for her evocatively-staged photos, capturing women and girls on the edge of transformation.

Her series, \\u201cHolly Andres: The Fallen Fawn\\u201d is on view through May 28th at Charles Hartman Fine Art in Portland.

We stopped by with Tricia Hoffman, the executive Director of Newspace Center for Photography for the latest installment of our series, \\u201cWhat Are You Looking At?\\u201d

The exhibition begins with a striking night-time image of a car, with a dear in its headlights. It\\u2019s an ambiguous situation: is the driver ready to run the deer down, or paused to marvel? That\\u2019s the kind of precipice moment Andres revels in.'
