Julia Lynn
statement
I chose interesting characters and people who are a part of South Carolina history. I was particularly fascinated by people who are a part of a “fading’ era. I wanted to capture the timeless quality of the people in these places.
bio
Julia Lynn’s photography reflects her love of the outdoors, meeting new people and storytelling. Her photographs are a blend of conceptual people photography, location photography and documentary photography. Constantly scouting for the perfect location, she is particularly drawn to the vibrant characters and historic architecture of her native south. The combination of a perfect location and an interesting mind can really bring a story to life on film. "Each photo should tell a complete story," says Julia, "like a movie in a single frame". Elements, location and character are all built around the story. Julia particularly enjoys traveling and does so for various photo shoots. Julia says discovering new subjects through the lens of her camera – people, places, food and cultures – they all inspire her. Every new experience brings new discoveries that may be interpreted through the camera. Originally from Roanoke, VA, Julia graduated from the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee and then the Portfolio Center in Atlanta, GA. She currently resides in Charleston, SC working in the editorial, advertising and corporate markets, as well as pursues personal projects. She is a member of the SC chapter of ASMP and teaches at the Charleston Center for Photography.
