Rebecca Skinner photographs abandoned spaces throughout the United States. She is a modern-day urban explorer seeking unique neglected structures and desolate places. Her subject matter ranges from large, cavernous spaces to minute details such as peeling paint and rust. Her locations are often dangerous to photograph in, whether because of rotten floors, falling plaster or asbestos (requiring a respirator), so she never goes alone. Skinner brings to her work a strong ethic of leaving a location exactly as found. She does not stage her photographs—there is a story there to be told and she does not alter it. She uses natural light and a tripod to create her images. Texture, color and light all play important parts in her image making.
Skinner received a certificate in photography at the Rhode Island School of Design. Her work has been featured by Artscope Magazine, Upworthy, Big Red & Shiny and the Boston Voyager. Skinner’s photographs have recently been displayed at BSA Space, MA, the Griffin Museum of Photography, MA, and Hopkinton Center for the Arts, MA. Her studio is located in Franklin, MA.
