Rebecca Rothey studied photography under Geoff Delanoy at the College of Notre Dame of Maryland. She does her own gelatin silver printing using traditional darkroom techniques. Her images are made in the tradition of French street photography and also include intimate studies of people, objects, and cityscapes. Most recently, she has embarked on a still life project utilizing unusual combinations of antiques and natural objects.
Her image Parisian with Poodle was awarded honorable mention by the 2006 IPA Lucie Awards and was selected by Stephen Perloff, editor of the Photo Review, for inclusion in a juried group exhibition at the Biggs Museum of American Art in Dover, DE held in the spring of 2009. Her work has been selected for four juried exhibitions by the Towson Arts Collective, most recently for its spring 2010 juried photography exhibit judged by Neil Meyerhoff, Board Chair at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), and Laurie Snyder, MICA photography faculty member.
