About the Item

Edition 1 of 6 Joliet Morrill is a New Orleans-based photographer specializing in street photography and portraiture. She studied Art History and Sociology at Mount Holyoke College, where she explored the intersection of art and education. Her studies in modern and contemporary art, focusing on preserving family memories, led to a final project archiving family photos and examining how different generations maintain their histories. This experience shaped her approach to photography, allowing her to capture authenticity and emotion in both everyday life and high fashion. Joliet's work blends nostalgia and intimacy, bridging the gap between spontaneous moments and staged shoots. Joliet Morrill says of her work… My journey into street photography began with the careful, deliberate process of shooting on my first film camera, a Canon AE-1, during high school. Each shot felt precious, and I was nervous, believing every image needed to be meticulously composed. Over time, my approach evolved. I started carrying an Olympus point-and-shoot everywhere I went—parties, long walks, vacations. It became an extension of me, and I naturally assumed the role of the designated photographer in my friend group, capturing the candid, fleeting moments of our gatherings and adventures. This past summer, I visited my friend Mia in the United Kingdom. We spent a day wandering around Mia’s hometown, Windsor, where I expected to photograph the town's quaint charm and historic architecture. Instead, we stumbled upon a fair, oddly placed in the middle of a field with no signage leading to it. The scene was bizarre—American flags waving in a distinctly British setting with kids looking miserable and heat that felt very familiar to home in New Orleans. It was a scene that felt familiar and strange, like looking into a distorted reflection of a place I thought I knew. I’m drawn to capturing moments like this—fleeting, seemingly ordinary instances. My process is spontaneous; I take photos on the go and leave the film development to chance, relying on local developers during my travels. Sometimes, there are smudges on my lens that I didn’t clean thoroughly or chemical issues from developing at a budget lab that leave splotches on the photos. There’s a thrill in getting the photos back, sharing them with friends like Mia, and hearing them say, "Wow, I didn’t even notice this moment!" Sometimes, without needing to speak, Mia and I would exchange a glance that said, "This is a good shot." I would then quietly take the photo.
