Born in 1985, in Albania, Giada Otten grew up in Tuscany, Italy. After earning her BFA in Painting at Accademia di Belle Arti di Carrara in 2011, Otten moved first to Milan to study photography at Brera Academy, and then to the United States where she discovered an interest in old photography methods. In 2015, she completed her study in photography at Fontbonne University in St. Louis, Missouri. In 2016, Otten began teaching photography at St. Louis Community College. She now works predominantly with digital, analog camera, expired film, polaroids and with other alternative photographic processes such as cyanotype, Van Dyke brown and liquid emulsion. Using these combined methods, Otten explores the human existence, creating very enigmatic and symbolic image that transcend the reality. She is best known for her conceptual portrait photography and her skills on alternative photographic processes expressed in a contemporary language. |
