spotlight magazine Mar 2022 women in photography & film
London: Julia Bostock
"Since the days of Julia Margaret Cameron, the number of male photographers, both amateur and professional, has vastly outnumbered women. The camera gave women the ability to record and comment on life with freedom and insight and to reveal a unique perspective.
In my personal projects I love exploring culture and heritage through the lifestyle and traditions of people around the world. From the amazing traditions of the “Guardians" in the Camargue I was able to recognise and pick out a young cow girl who was as capable as the traditional male horsemen but who stood out not only for her confidence but her sense of calm, poise and self-possession. Another pushier (male) photographer had spotted her at the same event and was trying to muscle me out of the way, but the innate unspoken and unthreatening communication that two women can silently create between them enabled me to capture some of the most powerful portraits of that series. I then turned this into a commercial project for Liberty.
Gaining trust and using my intuition has always been key to my work from photographs of couples undergoing IVF treatment to the remote crofting families in the Outer Hebrides.
As an art director initially and having studied painting and photography I instinctively understand what makes a good composition, but at the end of the day it is story telling that lies at the heart of my work, giving expression to the lives, passions and stories of my subjects."

spotlight magazine Jul 2021 kids photography
London: Julia Bostock
Julia has been shooting kids, fashion and portraits for many brands and leading independent magazines in the UK and abroad for a number of years.
Constantly inspired by what she sees around her, she is always thinking of stories to capture. Referencing painting and sometimes vintage photography, she is eager to convey the emotions and moods of subjects and situations through her imagery. Through her lens she pulls something unique out of the scene, using composition and light, capturing a moment.
Alongside her commercial work, she is always documenting real life. The pandemic has helped her to slow down and notice the things around her close to home, and as a result she has touched on many delicate issues and noticed the small details. She has an empathy with people which allows her subjects to feel comfortable and at ease.
A return trip to the Camargue to shoot a campaign this year has been postponed, but filming and stills for a brand from the region is her next passion and is soon to be resumed. During lockdown she was able to work on a kids' campaign for Adidas / Lego which is coming out very soon.
Editorial clients include Awkward World, Collezioni, Milk, Mini Maven, Naif, Pirouette, Rakes Progress, Vogue Bambini and The Telegraph, amongst others.
Advertising clients include Adidas, Afiniti, British Airways, Caramel, Liberty, Velveteen, Marie Chantal, Mothercare, Fendi, Afiniti, Boden and Marks and Spencer.
