About
Julia’s path to photography wasn’t exactly a well-planned composition - it was more like an accidental double exposure of logic and obsession. With a background in mathematics and a career in IT, her days are spent wrangling data and making sense of digital chaos. She sees the world through patterns - petals arranged like fractals, leaves forming perfect Fibonacci spirals, textures that feel almost algorithmic.
Originally from Russia, she spent seven years in Western Australia surrounded by landscapes that looked like they belonged on another planet - red earth, towering eucalypts, and flowers so bizarre they seemed to have evolved just to confuse botanists. Somewhere between the desert blooms and the towering karri forests, she fell in love with Australian flora, and logic had no say in it.
Now based on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, Julia channels her inbuilt perfectionism into capturing the intricate beauty of native plants - obsessing over textures, patterns, and the tiny details most people walk right past. After all, someone has to make sure these plants get the attention they deserve. And if that means lying in the dirt for half an hour to get the perfect shot? So be it.
