Releasing September 23rd, 2025. Pre-Orders available now!
Portland, Oregon is known for its DIY spirit, dedicated local music scenes, and anachronistic hobbies, all of which are represented in Choice Cuts, a photography book by Portland fixture, Corbin C. Choice Cuts presents a selection of photographs from the last decade, all caught on 35mm disposable cameras. Though focused on the vibrant house show subculture, Corbin brings his camera everywhere, and his archive also includes imagery of street demonstrations and protests, regional wrestling circuits, and something called CornCon. Informal, entertaining, and highly specific commentary accompanies the photographs and shows off Corbin’s pure enthusiasm and meticulous recall of nearly every event he’s photographed. Taken in basements and backyards and sidewalks starting in 2015, the photographs tell a story of a city that, while transforming, also has an unwavering dedication to performance, experimentation, and to showing up. Portland’s local culture is one of creative communities and Corbin has assembled proof of this. In this wildly digital time, Corbin and his lo-fi camera make a strong case for the analog, both in what’s happening and how it's captured. Here’s your invite, let Choice Cuts show you that the IRL is still alive and kicking.
“Choice Cuts: Disposable Camera Archive is a vital cultural document from one of Portland’s most devoted artists. In basements and backyards, at raves, protests, and queer house shows, Corbin’s sweaty, luminous photographs capture the chaos and beauty of a subculture few outsiders will ever see. Of such a niche scene, you’ll often hear, “You had to be there,” but this collection invites us in, shows us what it feels like to be knee-deep at CornCon. Corbin’s faithful, archive pulses with intimacy, belonging, and sound. Featuring early career images of now-acclaimed artists like Fabi Reyna, Amenta Abioto, Sarah Turner, and Sage Fisher, this book is an archive built on deep trust, access, and care. Thanks to Corbin’s eye, these nights and these artists are immortal.” —Liam Whitworth, founder of Future Prairie
