HERSTORY is Jana Cruder's latest series of photographic conceptual narrative prints - set in the 1970s, an era not unlike today - an era of cultural awakening (and resistance) to the symbiotic relationship of existence.

Jana Cruder's latest fine art photographic narrative series HERSTORY is a panorama of candy-colored scenes. It's a look into the complexities of feminism, the tiresome and callow demands of the patriarchy, and the aftershock of relentless cultural programming. 

In this series, we see our main character enter her sexual prime, and her biological clock is ticking. She is exploring liberation from cultural norms, and earning her own money while feeling disillusioned by the daily corruption, exploitation, and entrenched racism in her culture. She's feeling the pull of the expected domestic life, while trying to find the right relationship with puzzling capitalistic symbols of happiness. She starts an exploration into alternate realities and psychedelics. It all opens her and her comrades to possibilities far beyond what they were told to want. As she becomes more aware of the inner workings of the MANufactured world, she feels her reality polarize between her call to be active in the world and the potential of motherhood. 

Featuring large framed photographic prints, newly released collector View-master Reels, and a cameo piece by Artist Joel Spencer.

Cruder’s work focuses on stills, motion & experiential productions for clients worldwide.

“Simply put, I love what I do and believe that we create our experiences here,” Cruder says via her official website at JanaCruder.com, “As I've evolved my vision and craft I have come to see myself as a visual artist, using the mediums of film and photography to craft emotionally charged experiences to communicate a feeling, message and tell stories.  I'm passionate about inspiring creative thinking, the moving image,  story telling the environment, the art of fashion, the unique people I meet and locations I get to travel to.”

Cruder’s work spans the globe, with content libraries, commercial, fashion, and editorial projects for clients including Adidas, MGM, The Venetian Properties, Fallon NY, Adidas, Brita Filters, American Airlines, APPLE, Google, People Magazine, Zip-Car, Harpers Bazaar, Time Inc., Maxim, ELLE China, Rodale, Essence, Discovery, OWN Network, Mens Health, Fitness Magazine and Tatler.
