A self-portraiture series exploring the dichotomy of how we have
both the ability to mentally imprison ourselves, while
simultaneously holding the key to unlocking our freedom. This
project is also an ongoing experiment to integrate traditional art
(illustration) with digital photography and conceptual work.
Josephine Cardin is a fine art photographer based in Rochester, NY. Cardin has been developing her contemporary figurative work, inspired by music, dance, and the human themes of loneliness, isolation, fear, and transformation. Cardin works primarily in self-portraiture to illustrate scenes that bewitch and explore our human sensibilities through abstract stories. Cardin's work has been published in Hi-Fructose, InPrint, Digital Camera, Photo+, BLUR, Elegant, Adore Chroma, The Spoiler’s Hand, Lucy’s, beau BU, F-Stop, Dark Beauty, and Dance Magazines; and she has exhibited at Menier Gallery (London), ArtMeet Gallery (Milan), and Spectrum Gallery (Rochester).
