Rouchka Bourquelot

Rouchka Bourquelot is a lens based artist based in Brooklyn, NY. Part of their practice centers the investigation of family structures and relationship dynamics through self portraiture and staged portraits. They explore the tensions of human connection through meticulous framing of subjects in environments or through visually stripping subjects of their contexts. Simultaneously they nourish a deep interest for record keeping, with a painterly lens they capture the surfaces of rock erosion in the landscape of their childhood, near the mediterranean.

Lucia Devoulin

Lucia Devoulin is a photographer living and working in Brooklyn, NY. Raised in northern California, she developed a lasting interest in landscape that continues to inform her work. She is currently exploring how we acknowledge death through architecture and patterns of land use. Across her practice, she is interested in the reciprocal relationship between the built and the natural, using each to better understand the other and herself. Her favorite things to photograph are eucalyptus trees and snow.

Ash Dye

Ash Dye is a lens-based artist currently based in Ridgewood. She is a college drop-out and self taught photographer with an inclination to the rigid workflow of the view camera. Her obsession with human tenderness, the intimate exchange with a posed subject, and a fascination with loneliness drives her practice and daily actions. Her focus ebbs and flows between self-portraiture, landscape and portrait photography. She pays special attention to the repetitive way the sun traverses our earth, chasing shadows and light forms, folding the sun’s evidence of the passing of time into her practice. The act of photographing someone or something is a means of threading them into her own inner world. Whether it be a close friend, a stranger, herself or her favorite tree, every exposure tethers her more securely to the Earth, helping her understand her connection to those around her.

Zoe Elefterin

Zoe Elefterin is a photographer driven by improvisation and guided by instinct. Working primarily in self-portraiture, she explores the body as a raw material, tracing gesture and the shifting, protean feelings that come with moving from a physical performance practice into visual art. Her work leans into tensions between rigidity and looseness, containment and release, looking inward when outward expression becomes limited. She builds images through movement, performance, and a tactile, sculptural approach to making. She is based in New York City and originally from Canton, Ohio.

Tyler Guillen

Bringing a background in physics and philosophy to an exclusively analog process, Tyler Guillen’s myth-making photographs serve as extensions of the earthen forms they depict. Tyler zeroes in on a sweeping variety of forged forms and unexpected natural spaces, inviting his viewer to consider the spectre of geologic forces and their hauntingly unknowable entropic lineages. He is based in New York City, and is originally from Hemet, California.

Tan Halaçoğlu

Tan Halacoglu photographs the spaces he moves through and returns those images to physical form, as prints, as collages with found materials, as transparent objects that cast light. His work examines what happens when physical space ends and continues in the mind. He treats the photograph as an object, something with a body of its own. For him the boundary between image and space is not a line but a habitable place, and his practice asks when the image of a space becomes the space itself. He grew up in Istanbul, Turkey, and was trained in architecture before moving to Brooklyn.

Olivia Harrison

Olivia Harrison is a photographer living and working in New York City. Her practice investigates the complex intersections of time, memory, and the physical nature of the photograph. By blending analog traditions with a modern lens, she treats the camera as a sentient partner in her creative process, one that helps reveal internal emotional landscapes. Her work in the darkroom utilizes both standard silver gelatin and alternative processes to present the photograph as a dual object: a concrete record of human nostalgia and a spiritual instrument capable of uncovering hidden realities.

Jasmine Huang

Jasmine Huang is a lens-based artist living in Brooklyn, NY. She cites her upbringing in Memphis, TN, as a core part of her education and likes bald cypresses and the heat. She graduated from Sewanee, the University of the South, where she first discovered the view camera. Jasmine is interested in auto-fiction, family folklore, and how notions of place can shape a person. She has three fake teeth and loves primary colors.

Fran Kula

Fran Kula is a photographer based in Brooklyn, New York. They are interested in the way that photography acts as a depiction of truth but can become something entirely fictional. They insist that all of their images belong to one setting or place through the obfuscation of horizon lines and figures' faces. Through this, they create a greater edenic landscape where the viewer can depart. Fran graduated from Pratt Institute with a BFA in Photography in 2025.

Logan Normandeau

Logan is a multimedia artist working primarily with sculpture, darkroom film photography, and drawing. Their work is an exploration of their affective resonance of their perceived environment, creating reflections and symbolism built upon intuition, distortion, and imitation. Logan’s photography is fundamentally concerned with the process of the positive/negative, capturing movement, and figurative subtleties. Their synthesis of mediums results in a practice meant to be perceived as many parts to a whole: the thread which pulls, knots, wraps, or confines. Logan graduated with a BA in Design Studies from Colorado College in 2025 and is currently based in Ridgewood, NY.

Alison Nesbitt-Chávez

Alison Nesbitt-Chávez is a Mexican-American visual artist whose practice centers on photography and printmaking born in Southern California. She received her BA in Studio Art from the University of California, Santa Cruz in June, 2025. She is the recipient of the 2025 Irwin Scholarship and the 2023 Weston Portfolio Scholarship in the Social Commentary category. With a distinct visual language rooted in personal and familial narratives, she continues to explore the intersections of memory, identity, and place through lens-based media and analog processes. She considers the generational ties that shape the quiet ways in which sacrifice and inheritance are passed down through self portraiture and existing archives. Alison currently lives and works in Queens, New York.

Emlyn Mileaf-Patel

Emlyn Mileaf-Patel is a multidisciplinary artist based in Brooklyn, NY. He received a BA from Wesleyan in 2024 and has continued developing his practice while working in photo and film production. Centering on technologies of surveillance and computational vision, his work pursues algorithmically based analog interventions across both lens-based and sculptural forms. Recent work includes infrared and multispectral photography, lidar based photograms, glass sculptures cast from depth maps, and experimental film.

Chloe Scout Nix

Chloe Scout Nix is an artist and performer originally from Waxahachie, Texas, but now based in Brooklyn, New York. She received her Master in Photography from Pratt Institute (Brooklyn, NY) and her Bachelors of Fine Arts in Visual Arts, with a minor in Art History, from Southern Methodist University (Dallas, TX). Her conceptual practice explores performative intimacy through acts of performing for the camera, often resulting in self-portraiture. Preoccupied with how women’s bodies are consumed as narrative material within film and photography, she turns these tropes onto herself and questions what it means for her to wear certain characters. She is currently working as an art handler at MoMA PS1, and works in production at Primary Photographic, a film processing lab on the Lower East Side.

Sophie Joseph Schwartz

Sophie Joseph Schwartz is an artist, educator, and community organizer living between Brooklyn, NY and Cleveland, OH. Their practice positions collaboration as an entry point to explore power, interpersonal dynamics, and queer connection. Schwartz earned an MFA from Yale School of Art where they were awarded the Richard Benson Prize and the Harvey Geiger Travel Fellowship, following a BA in Modern Culture + Media from Brown University. They’ve been a recent artist in residence at Visual Studies Workshop, WORTHLESSSTUDIOS, Flower City Arts Center, Penumbra Foundation, and Haystack. Sophie has previously taught at School of Visual Art and Yale Norfolk School of Art, and currently serves on the faculty at New York University Steinhardt, Rhode Island School of Design, and Penumbra Foundation. Schwartz is the director of Rubylith Darkroom in Brooklyn, NY.

Calli Westra

Calli Westra is a photographer and musician based in Brooklyn, NY. She is interested in subverting the traditional understanding of a home and how one tethers themselves to a space. Her work explores the relationship between mind and place, specifically what the two entities absorb over time and how the camera works as a portal to merge physical and emotional awareness. Much of Calli’s practice involves experimenting in the darkroom with abstraction, contact printing, and collaging. She graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a B.A. in Journalism and Studio Art.
