Rebekah Campbell’s photography transitions smoothly between the fantasy world of fashion and representations of the idyllic banalities of youth culture and suburbia. The 22-year-old NYC-based photographer often utilizes duplication—superimposing images, or expressing a fascination with twins or similar-looking subjects. These echoes and repetitions lend a visual blossoming effect to her photos that nicely compliments the seventies youth vibes expressed in her work. – Cynthia Or
