bio
Based in Connecticut, fine art photographer Julia Arstorp explores memory, history, and impermanence through her black-and-white images. Her work evokes a sense of nostalgia, weaving together narratives that feel both deeply personal and universally familiar.
Arstorp's creative process is heavily influenced by her research. She often incorporates historical artifacts like old photographs, letters, and maps into her layered collages and diptychs. These elements create a rich dialogue between history and her contemporary vision. Beyond her photographic prints, Arstorp also creates handmade books and intricate assembled pieces.
Her work has been shown in group exhibitions at galleries throughout the U.S. and featured in publications like Hand Magazine, Photo Trouvée, and Shots Magazine. Notably, her series, Coquettish Decay, was selected as a 2025 Photolucida Critical Mass Finalist, and her cyanotype work can be seen in the book Cyanotype Toning.
