Jackson Fine Art is honored to announce our upcoming exhibition by acclaimed blogger and photographer Todd Selby and the famed international photographer Elliott Erwitt. This will be Todd Selby's premiere gallery exhibition and Elliott Erwitt's third exhibition in Atlanta.

The work of Todd Selby and Elliott Erwitt could both be billed as documentary photographers extraordinaire. Todd Selby's popular blog "The Selby is in Your Place" has become a sub-cultural pop icon for music, fashion and design fanatics. His illustrated and photographic diaries have also attracted the renowned publisher Abrahams with his first book released in 2010. Mr Selby has been photographing the interiors and exteriors of homes and studios of his friends and acquaintances in places such as New York, Tokyo, Los Angeles, Paris, and London. Last year Selby's installation of photographs, objects and drawings graced the windows of the notorious Parisian boutique Collette. Some might visit the Eiffel tower in Paris but Collette is the first stop for many design connoisseurs, thanks to the incredible selection and display of everything "that's hip, unique and hard to find", a perfect fit for Selby's work.

Elliott Erwitt, born in 1928 in Paris, emigrated to the US at the age of 10 and began his storied career in commercial photography in 1950's photographing for Collier's, Look, Life and Holiday magazines. Erwitt joined the Magnum Photo's agency in 1953 where he was amongst talents such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Eve Arnold, Cornell Capa, and Marc Riboud to name a few. Many of Erwitt's photographs focus on subjects immersed in and interacting with their surroundings. His traditional approach to candid images of ironic and absurd situations have become classics. His playful wit and deadpan humor are often unbeknownst to the person in front of his lens.
