Boulder, Colorado native, Julie Harris,
has been photographing people, places, and everything else in between for
more than ten years. An artist above all else, Julie loves
what she does and is ever thankful to be able to do it for
a living. Julie loves creating outstanding work for clients
seeking something elegant, artistic, emotional and special. Julie has
been a photographer for clients in Colorado and beyond since 2003.
Julie's photography combines technical
proficiency, patience, intuition, and her unique artistic
sensibilities. Whether it's a child's inquisitive expression,
a newborn infant's first gasp of air, or an outraged protester
stalking the streets of Dublin, Julie goes about her chosen
passion and profession with an eye for the moment and a heart
for beauty. And Julie's natural empathy for people helps her
capture her subjects in a candid and organic manner. Julie
works hard to make her clients feel comfortable enough to
let their guards down and be themselves in front of her camera
because that is when the best photographs are taken.
Julie was given a camera at age seven and
since then has had 'a burdening passion to use that
camera to free herself and her artistic subjects from the
constraints of time and space. Julie graduated from
the University of Colorado at Boulder where she was awarded
a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography and a Bachelor of English
-Creative Writing.
Julie is often asked how she does what she does behind the camera and in regards to her post-processing methods including info on the Nikon cameras and lenses she uses. In fact, she was the subject of much controversy in late 2009 about just these subjects. Check out her articulate and informative blog response on the subject here: Julie's response to the Photo.net forum topic about her work and techniques.
