Olivia Makayla Herring (she/her/hers) is a Hispanic film photographer and filmmaker. Her work delves into themes of identity, memory, and perception in relation to her predominant subject matter: women and places. She creates an interplay of light and shadow to illustrate artificial and natural construction of duality. Herring cultivates her artistic practice through indie and interdisciplinary methods to actualize mystifying atmospheres within her work. Her background in candid photography with Fuji Film has led her to continue documenting her siblings and surroundings with 35mm film. Currently, Olivia is pursuing a BFA degree at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago with an emphasis in photography and film.
