Emotion is at the heart of Julie’s images: “I’ve always captured what I see, and if my photos move others, then I’ve achieved my goal. My passion for photography is fuelled by my love for the outdoors, wildlife, and people.”

Whether in the polar regions, atop mountains, or beneath the ocean’s surface, Julie has dedicated recent years to raising awareness through her imagery. Her passion drives her to collaborate on meaningful projects with individuals and organisations committed to improving the environment and community well-being. She feels a profound responsibility to inspire conservation efforts through her work, engaging viewers to take action.

Julie’s love for the natural world, especially marine life, began at a young age and only deepened when she picked up a camera a decade ago. She spends countless hours offshore—on boats, but most often in her sea kayak—in search of whales and dolphins, using her voice to advocate for the oceans.

She’s been fortunate to work on expeditions in some of the most remote corners of the planet, where extreme conditions make capturing images both challenging and unforgettable—from documenting whale research in the Subantarctic Islands to guiding in the high Arctic and Antarctica, her current job. In 2024, Julie also began leading photography safaris in Africa, adding another chapter to her passion for teaching photography.
