bio

Julia Arstorp is a fine art photographer exploring memory, history, and impermanence through black-and-white imagery. Her work evokes nostalgia while examining the ways stories, places, and experiences shift over time.

Research plays a central role in Arstorp’s creative process. Drawing from historical artifacts such as photographs, letters, and maps, she incorporates layered imagery, collage, and diptychs to create connections between past and present. In addition to photographic prints, she creates handmade books and assembled works.

Arstorp’s work has been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the United States and featured in publications including Hand Magazine, Photo Trouvée, and Shots Magazine. Her series Coquettish Decay was selected as a 2025 Photolucida Critical Mass Finalist, and her cyanotype work appears in the book Cyanotype Toning.
