All About Photo Presents 'Fay and Gay' by Samantha Yancey

Solo Exhibition January 1 - 31, 2026
A Portrait of Lifelong Togetherness

All About Photo is pleased to unveil its first Solo Exhibition of 2026, Fay and Gay by Samantha Yancey.

This intimate photographic project explores lifelong companionship through the story of twin sisters Fay and Gay, born in 1936 near Pelahatchie, Mississippi. Never having spent a day apart, they have shared a home, careers, routines, and passions for more than eight decades. From building their home together in 1969 to dressing alike by choice, their lives unfold in a quiet, enduring synchronicity.

With sensitivity and restraint, Samantha Yancey captures this rare bond, offering a subtle and deeply human reflection on time, devotion, and the beauty of an ordinary life lived side by side. The project resonates through its emotional clarity and gentle strength, inviting viewers into a world shaped by constancy and mutual presence.

All About Photo Presents 'Notes From The Edge' by Antonio Denti

Solo Exhibition December 1 - 31, 2025

A Profound Look at a World in Transition: Curated by Ed Kashi

All About Photo is proud to announce Antonio Denti as the winner of the December Solo Exhibition Contest, selected by internationally acclaimed photographer Ed Kashi. His long-term project, “Notes from the Edge,” offers a striking and poetic exploration of what it means to live in a world caught between collapse and rebirth.

A Profound Look at a World in Transition

In “Notes from the Edge,” Denti turns his camera toward the uncertain times we are all experiencing. His photographs describe a world where the old has already faded but the new has yet to fully emerge — a suspended, fragile moment in history defined by transition, turmoil, hope, and fear.

The project examines multiple layers of contemporary life: global events, climate concerns, economic tensions, emotional states, and the fragile web of human relationships. Across borders and contexts, Denti notices the same underlying sensation: people being pushed to the limits of what they once knew.

His subjects — migrants, priests, soldiers, children, ordinary families — appear united by a common struggle: the search for meaning in a world whose foundations are constantly shifting.
