Julia Bostock
London
Julia has been shooting kids, fashion and portraits for many brands and leading independent magazines in the UK and abroad.
She has won awards, including the Julia Margaret Cameron Award - first prize for children's photography for ‘Grumpy Girl’ which was also exhibited at Photo London. This particular photo is part of an ongoing project documenting Scottish crafts and traditions, soon to be featured in an upcoming book. Additionally, it will be showcased in a joint exhibition scheduled to take place in Barcelona in December 2024, as part of the prize.
In 2024, she has exhibited in Arles and London. This year she is keen to get involved in some socially responsible projects, as she believes photography with impact can make a difference. Constantly inspired by what she sees around her, she is always thinking of stories to capture; she is eager to convey the emotions and moods of subjects and situations through her imagery.
Alongside her commercial work, she is always documenting real life. She notices the things around her, close to home, and abroad, and as a result she has touched on many delicate issues.
