Better Photography: Exploration of Consciousness Through Photography

Written By Joshua Sariñana

Joshua Sariñana’s photography is deeply intertwined with neuroscience, memory, and personal experience. Featured in Better Photography (August 2016), his work explores themes of detachment, nostalgia, and emotional depth, using bold colors and visual metaphors to evoke psychological states. Influenced by his background in behavioral neuroscience, Sariñana connects photography to memory formation, showing how images can reflect, distort, and reconstruct lived experiences. His artistic approach reveals the beauty within loneliness and disconnection, pushing the boundaries of contemporary visual storytelling.
