Jessica Branstetter is a senior at Herron School of Art and Design in Indianapolis, Indiana. She is currently working out of Detroit, Michigan and Indianapolis, Indiana documenting the places and people that she meets along the way. Throughout her practice as a photographer, Jessica Branstetter’s work has explored the lives of others through capturing the qualities that form a culture, person, or city. Her work tells a visual story of the people she meets, subjects and events that are important to her, and introspective investigations that form visual diaries of her life. Influenced by subcultures and punk rock and roll, she also photographs musicians and the underground culture that accompanies it. Her work often reflects the collective characteristics of different cultures, but also the powerful qualities of the individual. Contact her at JLBranst@iupui.edu.
