ABOUT ME
I’m Julie, an amateur photographer who lives in the most isolated city in the world - Perth, Western Australia. I’m the type of person who’s always keen to grab the camera, explore new places and connect with people, however I’m easily distracted by a breathtaking view or a stunning sunset! I like to learn different types of photography but find myself drawn to travel and nature the most.
My Photography Journey
Los Angeles USA, 2008

My fascination with photography started in my teen years when I received my first 110 camera. Over the years, I utilised a variety of film and digital SLR and compact cameras, with varying degrees of affection. I loved my old film Pentax SLR and disliked many of the compact cameras. Except Canon, my reliable favourite brand. When my last digital SLR went to camera heaven, I decided I wanted a lighter smaller camera to take with me on my travels. I chose a Canon EOS200D Mark II twin kit with 18-35mm and 55-250mm lenses, and added a 60mm macro for those close up shots. I find these lenses great to use however I am looking for a lens with the full range so I no longer need to interchange. My cameras have been hauled around the globe on numerous trips and were widely used during the times I lived abroad. To say I have a lot of photographic memories is an understatement. I often take a trip down memory lane and look at those pictures, remembering old friends, old haunts and times passed. Perhaps I’ll share some one day… For years, family and friends often commented on how much they like my work and that I should pursue photography further - so here starts my photographic journey. At present, I’m particularly interested in the Art of Photography and broadening my understanding of photography concepts so that I can better capture what I see and feel. In October 2022, I launched my first website which will go through regular updates as I also enjoy digital design. I participated in the Perth Amateur Photographer Exhibition in 2022 and 2023 and taken part in a few make it markets. For health reasons, I took a hiatus in 2023 and started travelling again in 2024 with trips to South Korea and Japan - stay tuned for updates on those exciting collections. Social Media |
