A two-artist photography exhibit opens today at Arts of the Pamlico’s Turnage Theatre.

Photographers Justin Casey and Bobby Davis will share new work in the show that runs until Oct. 8.

“It’s an honor to have a show, that’s for sure,” Davis said.

Davis is a self-taught photographer who got his start in 2006 taking friends’ and family’s Christmas card portraits. Since 2009, however, he’s turned favors into a career — portraits, weddings and special occasions. But being able to express another side of his work in a dedicated exhibit is of great benefit to him as an artist, he said.

“It gets my name out, it gets people to realize that I am more than a portrait photographer or a wedding photographer. And I get to share my travels. It’s neat to be able to share that with people,” Davis said.

There’s no theme to the Arts of the Pamlico exhibit, with the exception that each image captured Davis’ attention. He, in turn, captured a moment in time.

“The pieces I used in the show are not necessarily my best pieces, but each have more meaning for me,” Davis said.

Casey is known for his artistic endeavors. A photographer, graphic designer and videographer, who spent many years as the front man for Carolina Still, Casey is well-versed in the arts. He studied photography formally at various schools, but said he feels like his independent studies and experiments have proven to be more useful in developing his own personal style and vision, according to a press release from the Arts of the Pamlico.

“I want my photography, design, film and music to evoke feeling and emotion,” Casey said. “If my work aims to achieve anything, it is to deliver people from the limited ways in which they see and feel.”

The photography exhibit is open to the public Tuesdays through Fridays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sundays from noon to 4 p.m. Arts of the Pamlico is located in the historic Turnage Theatre at 150 W. Main St., Washington. For more information, visit artsofthepamlico.org or call 252-946-2504.
