Taking in Mark and Kristen Sink's photographs in all their patinated glory, with faces blurred and eyes sharpened, crinkled petals and languid limbs, their subjects appear to be plucked from a Victorian-era fairytale. And in execution, to a degree, they were. In order to achieve their vintage quality, the husband and wife team employed one of the oldest techniques in photographic history—the collodion wet plate process, a laborious method whereby the irregularities of human error render each piece a one-of-a-kind thing of beauty. Inside the gallery, the collected beauty define the couple's dreamlike style.

When the viewer steps into the Robin Rice Gallery they are transported to a different medium. The room is set up to mimic the book, inviting the viewer to walk through its pages. The phrase, "You Look at Me Like an Emergency," shouts in white hand written script against the back red wall, replicating the cover. Photographs of varying scale line the walls salon style and free-writing excerpts run along the chair rails, telling of Harvey's universally poignant story: One of relationship failures, falling in love and adjusting to motherhood. Through vivid color and perfect composition of family, friends, found objects and the artist herself, we are seduced.

This photo exploration of exquisite, 100-plus-year-old specimens of trees found in a New Jersey public arboretum is a follow-up study of the artist's 2004 exhibition of Florida palms. Intended to isolate and showcase trees, the exhibit presents José's interpretation of what is simple and uncomplicated about his subjects while also revealing them swathed in stand-alone beauty alongside a tangle of roots and branches.

The Robin Rice Gallery announces SUMMERTIME Salon 2012, the annual group show of photographs by gallery artists.

This yearly show is synonymous with summer. The collection immerses the viewer in the mood of the season with its breezy and joyful tone fused with a contemporary edge. The artful curation reflects Rice’s signature style—an aesthetically unified yet eclectic blend of photographic styles and sizes hung in the salon from floor to ceiling. The SUMMERTIME Salon highlights Rice’s talent for selecting diverse, intriguing images that come together like a beautifully complicated puzzle to evoke the perfect harmony of summer. It is the best of what is and what might be—full of peacefulness, yet ripe with possibilities to be seized.

This exhibition is a visual dance of contradictions. Whimsical and sophisticated. Stylistic and simple. Studied and carefree. That’s what emerges when you take a photojournalist by study, fashion photographer by trade and fine artist by instinct and leave him alone with his camera and a muse. Burris’ work is influenced by his early career spent working with fashion photographer Bill King and inspired by the decisive moment made known by the Henri Cartier Bresson. He defies the confines of either discipline. It is not fashion photography, which is by nature produced, but rather purely spontaneous.

Kocharian’s work focuses on the interaction of the individual and the surrounding nature: a forest, body of water or urban street. Just as nature transforms our environment, so does the object in the picture evolve, symbolizing an internal shift. The style is reminiscent of photojournalism forefathers such as Robert Frank and Cartier-Bresson yet with a Fellini-esque twist.

This exhibition, at once mysterious and revealing, reflects one man’s journey in search of love, vacillating from memories to hope. The collection is a fusion of neo-realism and symbolism. It’s the central figure’s relationship to the environment that elevates the images beyond realism, representing the transformational power in nature and within ourselves.

Ted Adams’ first solo show at the Robin Rice Gallery juxtaposes surrealism with the documentary art form. What differentiates Mr. Adams’ work from traditional photojournalism is his keen eye for capturing the irony in the events that unfold before our eyes. It is the found objects in everyday life to which Adams is most attuned. He creates a subtle mood and visual mystery that conveys meaning not only from the image itself but also through imagining what exists just beyond the frame.
