The Galleries

The City and The City. The title comes from the China Mieville novel, The City & The City, which is set in two cities that share the same physical space but are otherwise separate in every way. In my photography, I try and find glimpses of the unfamiliar within the familiar. That unseen city is there all along.​

Pattern Recognition. The universe is complex and unpredictable, yet there are patterns underpinning what we perceive. I find echoes of these patterns deeply beautiful.​

Infra/Structures. Infrastructure is supposed to be unglamorous. Yet, the things we build and the artifacts of the manufactured world often scream out to be noticed.​

Travel. Images from Venice and Rome

The Photographer

Babiera Photography is Rex Babiera, a fine art and urban cityscape photographer based in Chicago, Illinois. 

Science, Math, Art: Three things I love. It's no wonder I was drawn to the camera. One of my earliest memories of photography is spending free periods in a darkroom in high school in the 1980's. Later, I became an engineer, a teacher, a graduate student, and a non-profit director. But I have always been a photographer; I just didn't realize it until a few years ago.

I have studied at the Maine Media Workshops and the Chicago Photography Academy, but am mostly self-taught.

Questions or comments? I would love to hear from you. Also, if you find an image that interests you, you can purchase a signed, limited-edition, archival-quality, framed (or unframed) print by sending me a message at rex@babieraphoto.com. Thanks, and enjoy!
