Holly Andres is not just one of the best working photographers in Portland — she’s 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’s won strong reviews for her evocatively-staged photos, capturing women and girls on the edge of transformation.

Her series, “Holly Andres: The Fallen Fawn” 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, “What Are You Looking At?”

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