Julia's Website
Julia Fullerton-Batten was born in Germany and spent her childhood there and in the USA. When she was 16 she and her family moved to the UK. It was after this she decided she wanted to pursue a career in photography. She developed her unique style after assisting for five years upon completing graduation from the Berkshire College of Art & Design.
Julia's images are a part of permanent colleges in both London and Switzerland. She is most known for her book 'Teenage Stories' that was published in 2007
When creating her images she has a entire process that she goes through. One small thing will usually trigger an idea. Then she has to find the right models, book assistants, find hair and make up and costuming and studios.
What interests me most is how the majority of her images seem surreal. They tend to have a dream like quality about them. One of my favorite images of hers is 'Bike Accident.' I love the way the body is completely mangled and it actually looks like this teenage girl is a giant in a small world. When in actually reality these images where shot in a real location. One of several model villages in Europe.
From the photos that I've seen I love her use of color. Overall they blend very well and the bolds stand out nicely. From her 'Teenage Stories" series all her images where shoot on a model location. To achieve the color she would have had to acquire proper lighting and shot from the correct angels. She did a great job of accomplishing this.
