Chloe Luterman, born and raised in New York City, is an image-maker whose work lies at the intersection of documentary and fine art. With a practice rooted in both digital and analog mediums—including 35mm, 120mm, and Polaroid film—she brings her vision to life through archival darkroom techniques and alternative photographic processes. These hands-on methods, such as platinum palladium prints, cyanotypes, and gum bichromate, lend a tactile and unique texture to her work, elevating documentary imagery into the realm of fine art.

Luterman’s inspiration stems from her life, the people and places that surround her, her travels, cinema, memory, and the natural world. At the core of her practice is an exploration of human connection, intimacy, and interaction—both between individuals and with the environments they inhabit. 

As part of her photographic work, Luterman also draws from archival family images to create pieces that delve into memory and lineage, weaving personal and collective histories into her art. Luterman’s photographs examine the interplay of emotion and form, capturing both spontaneous and composed moments with a distinct visual sensitivity. Through her lens, she offers a thoughtful perspective on the connections between people, places, and time.
