About the Artist

Eva Strage is a London-born, California-raised, and now New York-based photographer working in both analog film and digital. She recently graduated from Barnard College of Columbia University with a dual Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology and Art History with a concentration in Visual Arts.

Though she has been a creative her whole life, photography has been her primary medium for the past seven years. Her work spans a wide range of subjects and settings, from wildlife and archaeological sites to urban street scenes, portraiture, and documentary work. Her collection is composed of works shot across Tanzania, Italy, Iceland, the United Kingdom, and beyond. She approaches each subject with the same underlying curiosity: a desire to find images that are honest, surprising, or quietly strange.

In recent years, Strage has turned increasingly to analog film, developing and printing all of her work in the darkroom. The physicality of that process, its slowness, its demands on attention, has become an important part of her practice. Her most recent project, a series of in-camera multiple exposure photographs completed as her Visual Arts capstone thesis at Barnard, explored themes of control and relinquishment, producing images that blur the limits of the human body.
