Julia Arcamone

Music and photography have always gone hand-in-hand for Julia Arcamone, a current third year photojournalism student at Temple University.  Her passion falls between the connection of music, lyrics, and sound with still images, provided by photography, which creates a relationship between the two mediums.  When on assignment, Julia strives to capture images that will connect the viewer, or the audience, on a deeper more individual level.  The power of photography allows Julia to capture the mood of her subject; whether it is within the genre of music or portraiture.  Both mediums require a connection between the photographer and the subject in order to capture emotion and sincerity. Julia feels that she is able to create a close connection with her subjects in order to create an honest photograph.

As the child of a former photojournalist for a number of New Jersey newspapers, Phoenicia was raised around cameras and quickly took a liking to them. Despite her parents urging to study a science or technology she naturally gravitated back to photography. She will soon graduate from Temple University where she is majoring in History and has two minors in Journalism and French. Phoenicia explains the interconnectedness of the three by saying, “photography is a means to collect history visually, learning languages allows you to communicate with people and learn their history from their perspective and not the perspective of their conquerors.” Her experiences have included work as the photographer for Temple University’s Office of Multicultural Affairs, and as the photographer for a Unity Daycare Center in Lakewood New Jersey. After graduating she hopes to build relationships, which will allow her to learn more languages and take more photographs.
