Jess Rhodes (San Antonio, TX) received her BFA from the Savannah College of Art and Design, but the majority of her work and practice formed during her 15-year stint in the San Francisco Bay Area, where she worked for Jim Goldberg and Stanford University. Her work explores the strange and mundane by utilizing post-documentary to explore the Southern vernacular and the absurdity of the American experience, while also investigating topics like quantum physics, timelessness, and kismet. Jess attended VII Community’s 1-to-1 Program with Maggie Steber and is the recipient of the 2025 Photowork Junior Fellowship. She also created a guide for crowdfunding campaigns in publishing and facilitated public programming for non-profit organizations in Georgia. Currently, Jess serves as a Senior Editor at Fall Line Press, an independent publisher based in Atlanta, GA, and the Senior Editor for Pamplemousse Magazine, a publication that celebrates the work of contemporary film photographers.
