Kalliope Amorphous is an artist, model and photographer whose work has evolved into an exploration of the conceptual self-portrait photograph as a catalyst for exploring ideas of identity, gender, archetype and myth. She does not consider herself a photographer, but an “artist with a camera”. A chameleon-like protagonist, Amorphous alters her own image to focus on themes of isolation and states of consciousness, folklore and fairytales, interpretations of pre-existing iconography and surrealistic deconstructions of her own identity. Before embracing photography as a tool for artistic expression, Kalliope spent several years in front of the camera as a model for fashion photographers, where she first began to experiment with conceptual imagery. Upon discovering a passion for photography years later, she began to play the role of model, photographer and stylist, allowing for an entirely self-contained creative process. Self-taught in photography, Amorphous works without the aid of professional lighting or studio equipment, preferring to create her own systems as well as developing unique in-camera methodologies. Kalliope has received worldwide recognition for her work in self portraiture and her photographs have been exhibited and published throughout the United States and internationally. Her work is held in public and private collections and she is the recipient of numerous awards and honors, including the 2010 Julia Margaret Cameron Award for self-portraiture and Obscura Journal’s Outstanding Photo Award. In addition to her photographic work, Kalliope is a writer of poetry and prose, designs various mixed media works and creates handmade artisan perfumes for Black Baccara perfumery. She currently divides her time between Rhode Island and New York.
