Photography Blog | The Life and Times of Julie Harris Photo Blog | Photography Blogs. Welcome! This is where I show my work and write about what stirs me. Mary Ellen Mark says, "Reality is always extraordinary". I live by this. I'm a documentary photographer with a thirst for love, life and truth... a true bohemian at heart. In an industry saturated with trendy processing techniques and emphasis on style instead of substance, I strive to make honest images that are full of emotion and reality.

I’ve been experimenting with some of Jesh De Rox’s textures lately, and am having so much fun manipulating some of my images….. I know this isn’t really my style, being a photojournalist and all, and God knows I would never hand color a single rose in a bouquet, but I think some of these textures are super cool! Perhaps I can sprinkle some into my weddings or portrait shoots. I think less is more. Thoughts anyone? Favorites?
I especially like some of these textures with my own personal work…. I snapped this really simple picture of the Hudson while I was out in NYC. It was a foggy day and I chose to keep the image out of focus. I love the warmth and content that the textures added to this image in particular.
I really think that these textures work best with close up faces or images with a lot of negative space. They shouldn’t take away from the emotion of the image, but draw you in a bit closer….
0oh la la! I think i just made this nude even edgier!
I love this image manipulated! It’s so dreamy–like she’s walking out of storybook….
a bit much, maybe??
So cool! I really like them!
(01.29.2008)I never thought you would be partaking in this fab!!!! Though I must say they do send you over the top in the edgy department. I think you should pull out the old grainy film more often for those rugged looking shots, its more you!!!!!
(01.29.2008)Nice effect. You might also achieve a "softer" or "country" effect by adding clouds, fabric, or both. Love your photos!
