Known for her intimate, stylized photography, Josephine Sacabo principally has lived in New Orleans, citing the city’s unique ambiance as a muse. Sacabo studied theater at Bard College and worked in the European stage extensively before returning to the South, taking up residence in New Orleans in 1973. Sacabo’s early work followed the photojournalistic tradition of Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Frank, but her artistic development was soon deepened by an altogether different medium—poetry. Citing Rainer Maria Rilke, Charles Baudelaire, Stéphane Mallarmé, and Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz as influences, Sacabo’s work has taken a dreamlike, mystical turn, further enhanced by her own customized printing process.
