About

Jessica Cardelucci (b. Newport Beach, California, 1988) is a photographer whose work examines how life’s passing moments accumulate into memory and meaning. Known for her black-and-white images that hold space for stillness, her photographs invite viewers into quiet, contemplative moments where life, memory, and perception intersect. Her work moves fluidly between the intimate and the experimental, continually exploring the boundaries of how we see and remember.

Her ongoing series, Plates, investigates life's impermanence through a fusion of traditional photographic processes in dialogue with emerging technologies. Cardelucci's analog prints stand alongside blockchain-authenticated digital originals, creating a dialogue between photographic tradition and digital innovation, questioning how we preserve and understand our evolving stories.

Cardelucci’s photographs have been exhibited at institutions including the Center for Photographic Art, the Los Angeles Center of Photography, the Griffin Museum of Photography, and the New Museum Los Gatos, as well as in public and international venues such as Point Reyes National Seashore, W1Curates in London, SCOPE Art Show, and Miami Art Week in an exhibition presented by TIME magazine and National Geographic. Her work has been recognized by the International Photography Awards, Black & White Spider Awards, and Neutral Density Awards.

In addition to exhibitions, her photography has been featured by MoMA and SFMOMA on their digital platforms, and her story has been highlighted by Forbes for her entrepreneurial approach to the creative arts. Her work has also appeared in B&W Minimalism Magazine, Feature Shoot, and Snap Collective’s Hug 100 Artists to Watch. Cardelucci holds a BFA from Chapman University, graduating cum laude, and remains an advocate for both traditional photographic printmaking and digital innovation through blockchain-authenticated photography.
