Meet Julia
Melbourne Photographer
As a young photographer, I have been fortunate to have had so many amazing experiences. From studying at a world-leading photography program to travelling overseas for underwater photography, these opportunities have helped shape me as an artist and photographer.
This is a website of my personal photographic explorations. As a photographer, I explore the commercial side of headshots and fine art portraiture for my clients. However, I feel it is important in my artistic process to create work purely for myself. So here you will find my fine art and conceptual projects, including my passion of underwater photography and my love for travelling. These are the projects that consistently inspire me, and push me as a photographic artist.
As a person, I am a relatively quiet observer, with a love for nature and the outdoors, for creating, for colour and vibrancy. I love dogs, indoor plants, and sweet things. I have three major passions in my personal photography: underwater photography; landscapes; and conceptual series. Whilst I adore my career as a portrait photographer, I am so grateful to be able to share the little pieces of me that I put into my conceptual work as well.
If you like what you see and would like to commission or purchase a piece, please contact me or visit my print store.

"There are so many things about the ocean I love. It is relentless and unforgiving, powerful and destructive. However, when you explore the underwater world everything feels calm. Perhaps it is the silence, or the pressure building when you need to take a breath. It could be the way the light dances. Then, a 12 meter mammal looks you in the eye and your whole world changes"
