Portland, Ore.-based photographer Brad Carlile was one of eight recipients of the Hearst 8x10 Photography Biennial Award this year. The competition, which announced its winners in April, recognizes upcoming photographers in the media industry.

Carlile's winning series, "Tempus Incognitus," explores the nature of light and color within the realm of rented rooms and will be on display at the Hearst Museum Gallery in New York City through September. Carlile was also featured at the Flanders Gallery in Raleigh, N.C., earlier this year.
