Mascha J
Dordrecht, Netherlands
Mascha Joustra graduated at the Fotoacademie Amsterdam in may 2015 specializing in (autonomous) documentary and portrait series. Her work has different layers and each photograph is demanding time from the viewer. Some images are poetic some direct, but her work is often asking for closer attention.
Mascha has graduated with a large series of photographs documented in a book called ‘Elders’ (‘Elsewhere’). The book has been shortlisted for the ‘Unseen Dummy Award “ in Amsterdam, september 2015 and has been presented during Paris Photo 2015 at the Polycopies event at the the Tipi Bookshop/Brussels.
