Unrequited love – A Testament to Love (2013) – completes Julia’s involvement with the female psyche, illustrating poignantly the struggles experienced by a woman when love goes wrong. Here she based the project on her own experiences in her relationship with her mother, and the effects of her parents’ divorce. This was even more so the case with her next project, Mothers and Daughters (2012). Julia freely admits to many of her scenes being autobiographical. This success was followed by other projects illuminating further stages a teenager experiences to becoming a woman - In Between (2009) and Awkward (2011). Her book ‘Teenage Stories’ was published in 2007. It portrays the different stages and life situations experienced by an adolescent girl as she grapples with the vulnerability of her teenage predicament – adjustments to a new body, her emotional development and changes in her social standing. The foundation of her success as a fine-art photographer was 'Teenage Stories' (2005), an evocative narrative of the transition of a teenage girl to womanhood. She is widely sought after as a judge for adjudicating at prestigious international photographic competitions and as a speaker at international events. Her images are on the front covers of 'A Guide to Collecting Contemporary Photography' (Thames and Hudson, 2012) and Eyemazing Magazine. She is a winner of the HSBC Fondation pour la Photographie award and a Hasselblad Master. She has had portraits commissioned by the National Portrait Gallery, that are held in permanent collection. Julia is a world-wide acclaimed and exhibited fine-art photographer.
