About Julie

As a little girl, I was drawn to the cameras we had at home: the way the world looked different through a viewfinder, and how a photograph could show something that the naked eye somehow missed.

Photography became the language I reach for when words don't work. When something moves me, unsettles me, or sits too heavy, I pick up a camera. Many of my self-portraits were made in difficult moments. Not to document the pain, but to give it somewhere to go.

There was a period when I lost it. I was photographing only for others, and slowly stopped knowing what I liked. It took a small creative prompt , a reason to play again, to find my way back. I'm glad I did. The photographs I make now come from a freer place.

That's what I bring to every shoot: whether I'm photographing a person, an animal, or something in between. Not just technical skill, but genuine curiosity about what makes a subject alive.

I'm based in Mechelen, Belgium. I work with people, animals, and whatever asks to be seen.
