Granville Carroll is an educator and Afrofuturist photographer currently based in Rochester, NY. Carroll received a BFA in photography from Arizona State University and a MFA in photography and related media from Rochester Institute of Technology. His work explores the relationship between the external material world and the imaginative and vulnerable inner space of the mind. Through a reduction of the dualistic system built by Western society, Carroll questions what lies at the core of humanity. He explores this curiosity through the intersection of art, spirituality, science, and philosophy. His work uses the indexical nature of photography to bend the world and create new and imaginative landscapes and self-portraits. The use of digital technology, such as Photoshop, allows him to act as an architect of time, space, energy and matter, becoming a co-creator in the physical realm. Carroll’s work has been exhibited in the United States and featured on multiple online platforms. Recently, his work has been shown on Humble Arts Foundation, Lenscratch, Photo-Emphasis, and Float Photo.
