Alex Webb has published 17 photography books, including The Suffering of Light, a survey book of 30 years of his color photographs. He’s exhibited at museums worldwide including the Whitney Museum of American Art, N.Y., the High Museum of Art, Atlanta, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. A Magnum Photos member since 1979, his work has appeared in The New York Times Magazine, National Geographic, and other publications. He has received numerous awards including a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2007. His most recent books are La Calle: Photographs from Mexico and the collaboration Slant Rhymes with Rebecca Norris Webb.

Originally a poet, Rebecca Norris Webb often interweaves her text and photographs in her eight books, most notably with her monograph, My Dakota—an elegy for her brother who died unexpectedly—with a solo exhibition of the work at The Cleveland Museum of Art (2015), among other venues. Her work has appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, National Geographic, and is in the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Cleveland Museum of Art, and the George Eastman Museum, Rochester, NY. Rebecca is a 2019 NEA grant recipient. Her book, Brooklyn: The City Within (with Alex Webb), published by Aperture in fall 2019, will be exhibited at the Museum of the City of New York thru April 18, 2021. Her eighth book, Night Calls, in which she's retracing the route of some of her 100-year-old country doctor father's house calls through the same rural county where they both were born, was released by Radius in December 2020. Her collaborative book with Alex Webb, Waves, a pandemic logbook in words and images on Cape Cod, will be published by Radius in early 2022.
