Barbara Davis Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of out of range, the first solo-exhibition for Houston-based photographer Julie Soefer. Her new exhibition of photography traverses the globe in an exploration of cultural landscapes. Drawing from her travels to Asia and her experiences stateside, her photographs transcend geography and culture, honing in on the universal; what makes us the same, rather than what makes us different. Her images range from the waggish, as in her photos from the Houston Rodeo, to the tender, as seen in Boy on a Bus, that captures the wistful glance of a boy aboard a bus in India. Soefer's photography deftly captures intimate, nuanced moments with equal parts humor
and romance.
Julie Soefer is a graduate of New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts . She was mentored by pioneering photographer, Arnold Newman, who developed the environmental portrait. Julie served as the still photographer for the feature film Super Size Me, snapping the iconic movie-poster image of director Morgan Spurlock with his mouth full of french fries. Her work has been featured on the covers of Houston and Modern Luxury Dallas magazines, and she has contributed to The Financial Times, Texas Monthly and The Wall Street Journal. In addition to shooting ad campaigns for the likes of the Four Seasons, Texas Children’s Hospital and Elaine Turner, Julie recently was chosen as a finalist in Hearst Corporation's 8x10 Photography Biennial.
Julie Soefer: out of range is on view from June 10, 2011 – July 2, 2011, with the opening reception for the artist to take place Friday, June 10, 2011, from 6:30pm – 8:30pm. For more information on this exhibit, please contact Barbara Davis Gallery at
