bio
Based in Connecticut, fine art photographer Julia Arstorp explores memory, history, and impermanence through black-and-white imagery. Her work evokes a sense of nostalgia, weaving together narratives that are both deeply personal and universally familiar.
Arstorp's creative process is heavily influenced by research. She incorporates historical artifacts such as old photographs, letters, and maps into layered collages and diptychs, creating a dialogue between history and her contemporary vision. Beyond her photographic work, Arstorp also creates handmade books and assembled pieces.
Her work has been shown in group exhibitions at galleries throughout the U.S. and featured in publications including 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.
