Artist Entry #10

3-23-09

Olivia Arthur








Olivia was born in London in 1980 and grew up in the UK. She studied mathematics and photojournalism in college. She was invited to live in Italy for a year, where she shot the series " the middle distance" (which the images I've posted are from), which covers the wide range of women who reside in the middle of Europe and Asia. She's received many awards at such a young age, and continues to travel and shoot around the world. Her work is very inspiring to me, and has the quality that I'm striving for with my work. She is fantastic and really catching the mood of the space, and pays very close attention to all of the little details that make a photograph special. She continues to work on a long term project on women caught in the East vs. West divide.
