Europe - Australasia: Julie Renouf
"I’m an international award-winning photographer and director specialising in interiors, food and lifestyle, and brands focused to the female consumer. With 20+ years experience in Australia and now based in Europe, my work spans a wide range of advertising campaigns, editorial, branded motion content, food films and TVC. My aesthetic incorporates beautiful light, is emotive, unashamedly feminine, and weaves a visual story.
In my career there are many defining moments. The most prominent: an inspired Christmas gift, a Hanimex Box Brownie at the age of seven; a gifted art teacher in high school who taught me to experiment and explore beyond what the textbooks taught, and that ‘mistakes’ can take you to somewhere way beyond imagining; a tertiary education in photography that taught me the rules and then insisted I break them; a myriad of film and photo shoots where I learned to trust my intuition whilst being supported by my training. These projects now are the backbone of my creative and professional experience.
On set I work closely with clients: I believe collaboration, a positive attitude, and a shared enthusiasm for evocative visuals are the most effective way to create beautiful, authentic stories worth sharing with the world.”

Title: Vida Breakthrough
Location: West Gate Tunnel Site - Melbourne, Australia. "I was originally positioned at the front of the pack to get the shot of the actual breakthrough which was spectacular. Not being satisfied that it gave a sense of scale - considering Vida’s almost 16m width, I walked back 150m and used my 200 lens to try and compress the image which I think has given an extremely effective result.
This is the largest ever tunnel boring machine breakthrough in the Southern Hemisphere."
