MEET WORLD PHOTOGRAPHERS AND LEARN HOW TO STOP TIME
What Makes a Great Photograph?
Is it the perfect composition? The mastery of light? Or is it something more— intangible?
A great photograph stops time. It tells a story, stirs emotion, makes us see the world differently. But is it skill alone that creates these images, or the way a photographer sees, feels, and connects with the world?
At Meet World Photographers, we believe that photography is more than just a craft—it’s a way of thinking, a way of being. That’s why we travel the world to meet the visionaries behind the lens, stepping into their creative spaces, their minds, their artistic process.
Join us as we explore the essence of photography through the eyes of its greatest storytellers.
FEATURE OF THE MONTH
Julia Fullerton-Batten
THE STORYTELLER
Julia Fullerton-Batten is a fine-art photographer renowned for her highly cinematic visual storytelling. Her large-scale projects are based around specific themes. Each image in the project embellishes her subject matter in a series of thought-provoking narrative ‘stories' using staged tableaux and sophisticated lighting techniques. Julia’s use of unusual locations, highly creative settings, and street-cast models accented with cinematic lighting are hallmarks of her style. She insinuates visual tensions in her images and imbues them with a mystique that teases the viewer into continually re-examining the picture; something new coming to the fore each time.
Julia’s fine-art work is globally recognized and exhibited. She has won countless awards worldwide, is frequently portrayed in photographic journals, has published two books, is a Hasselblad Ambassador, a frequent speaker at international workshops and a juror of international competitions. Her images are on the front covers of A Guide to Collecting Contemporary Photography. She has permanent collections at the National Portrait Gallery, Musee de l’Elysee, Lausanne and the Parliamentary Art Collection, Houses of Parliament.
