Whitney Hubbs

Whitney Hubbs (born 1977) is an American photographer.[1][2][3] Her work is held in the collections of the J. Paul Getty Museum[4] and UCR/California Museum of Photography.[5]

Early life and education

Hubbs was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. She graduated with a degree in photography from California College of the Arts in 2005 and received an MFA from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2009.[2]

Life and work

With the series Body Doubles, "she photographed women in various states of undress, their faces obscured by a variety of textured papers and fabrics in bold colors"[2] "in poses that defy the conventional language of nude photography."[6] "The series was her way of showering off the male gaze by looking at women through her own eyes."[2]

Her book Say So (2021) contains self-portraits[7] that could, in the words of Chris Wiley writing in frieze, "be superficially described as sadomasochistic erotica, since they feature Hubbs in a variety of compromising position and in various states of undress." However, "when we plumb their depths, these pictures reveal themselves as being less about titillation and more about universal, close-to-the-bone emotional struggles..."[8]

Hubbs is the associate director of Light Work in Syracuse, NY.[3]
