The viewer looks at the image only casually, but then is impelled to look at it closer. Not once, not twice, but several times. The now animated viewer finds his curiosity increases with every examination. He sees more nuances in the content, he admires the subtlety of the colours and queries how the photographer has achieved that stunning cinematic effect. Here, we are talking about pictures taken by multiple award-winning photographer, Julia Fullerton-Batten.
Her fine-art images have hung in galleries throughout the world, from Abu Dhabi to China. Her images are held in permanent collections in The National Portrait Gallery, London and the Musee de l'Elysee, Lausanne, Switzerland, and her first book 'Teenage Stories'. She is profiled in many international professional and popular photographic magazines.
Julia Fullerton-Batten was born in Bremen, Germany, her mother German, her father English. She spent her childhood in Germany and in the USA before moving to the UK in 1986. At school-leaving age she decided to enter a career in photography. She has not looked back since. After graduating from the Berkshire College of Art and Design, she assisted for five years, where she learned her craft the hard way and began to develop her own unique photographic style.
When still assisting, a series of pictures she shot during a trip in Vietnam won her a series of awards, based upon which she was signed up by a German agent. Within a few weeks, the agency gave her her first job, a large scale assignment in Australia. This propelled her into her professional career. Since then, she has shot many commercial and editorial campaigns for big name agencies and journals. With this work, too, her images have won many international awards.
