“I enjoy studying a scene to see what is constant and what is changing (light, water, wind, people). I then capture that feeling in a photograph so the viewer gets a sense of what it was like to be present in that moment. My interests vary between fine art urban and rural landscapes, botanical, nature, and infrared photography.”
Julie has a broad knowledge of photographic styles from wide-angle landscapes and cityscapes to nature, abstract, portraiture and families. Always up for a challenge, multiple exposure photography and "camera painting" using intentional movements during exposures are of particular interest as they involve unique ways of seeing a subject. As opposed to taking pictures OF a subject, she strives to capture thoughtful images that are ABOUT the subject while conveying what it felt like to be present at that moment via the use of creative techniques.
A camera is only the pencil to the poetry.
