I launched my professional photography business! Check out the work over at Steadfast Studio. My work ranges from portraits (family, kids & headshots) to engagements, weddings & anniversaries and I specialize in fine art documentation. I work for galleries shooting their installations, and artists documenting work for their archives.
A video from last year, De-Reaction, will make it's public debut at the Crown Heights Film Festival on Thursday October 13th. The film stars Ben Berlin and Katey Parker.

My department at SVA collaborated on the project stillspotting nyc with the Architecture, Urban Design, and Urban Planning programs at Columbia University and the Guggenheim Museum exploring aspects of stillness and movement and noise and silence in New York City. My video, Anything Below Chambers, was selected to be presented with the project. For the video, I invited seven New Yorkers to explore the area below Chambers Street to help in my search of silence. Each participant took 20 photographs in an hour. These photos, along with interviews about their experiences, show the ongoing struggle to find stillness in the city.

My series Hold Still was featured in the Forward Thinking Museum's blog in a post entitled Channel Surfing. The writer Rachel Wolff says that in the work: "Gaebe takes spotty reception and disruptive waves of color and transforms them into lyrical abstract photographs. Some are bursts of Technicolor, others are nearly monochromes, and others yet bear traces of the action trickling in through the airwaves."
September 2010
Responding to a gap between the first and second year students in my MFA program at the School of Visual Arts I started a website, SVA Underexposed. My goal is to interview and present work for all of SVA's current Photo & Video MFAs so students and the community at large could have access to current work that is being produced by the very talented artists in my program.
