Julia Thorne's work in the photography
medium has spanned more than two decades and been as diverse in
nature as the subjects themselves.
Born in Whangarei, New Zealand in 1959
Julia moved to Auckland in the mid 1970s. Diverted from plans
of a legal career, she trained in journalism as a back door to
photography and worked with the New Zealand Herald for four
years.
Whether in daily news journalism and
photography, adventure travel, corporate profiles, lifestyle
magazine spreads or black and white portraits, Julia's experiences
and sensitivity add depth to the images she creates.
Her passion for visual diversity and exploration of life
motivated her travel to every continent between the sub-Antarctic
islands and the Arctic Circle all of it contributing to her
perspective and visual interpretations.
"As a photographer for more than 20 years, I have had the
privilege of seeing beyond the obvious and superficialities in
life, through both editorial and corporate projects."
"Now, through my flora fine-art work I aim to reflect some of
nature's intricacies, fragility, harshness and strengths also
discovered in human life.
The entwined nuances also offer a chance to see, understand and
accept aspects of life and humans for what they are."
