Overview

Haines proudly presents Reversals and Revolutions, our second solo exhibition with renowned photographer Chris McCaw (b. 1971, lives and works in Pacifica, CA). McCaw’s singular artistic practice foregrounds photography’s essential components — light and time, lenses and light-sensitive materials — to generate startlingly inventive photographic forms. Reversals and Revolutions debuts his newest body of work, Inverse, alongside a selection of his signature Sunburn prints. Rendered entirely in-camera through McCaw’s years-long mastery of complex and little-known photographic processes, the exhibited works are unique, direct prints — emerging from the camera to the developer tray without post-processing, cropping, or manipulation: raw recordings of light. This highly anticipated exhibition marks McCaw’s first solo showing in San Francisco in nearly a decade, and opens in tandem with SF Art Week 2026.

 

The Opening Reception takes place on Friday, January 23, 2026 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, during the Fort Mason Art Walk.
