NEW ZEALAND ISSUE 239 Oct 2010

Julie-Maree Southen is one of New Zealand's leading still life and product photographers. Her creative thinking and ability to bring an image to life has led to numerous awards for her photography. She has the natural ability to take an advertising concept and through creative collaboration produce a truly inspirational image.

Julie is based in New Zealand, shooting international and nationally based campaigns for design and advertising agencies worldwide. The trademark signature to her images is a strong graphic influence in her compositions, as well as a sharp eye for detail that takes the mundane, everyday object and injects life and beauty to transform it into a work of advertising art. She believes in the traditional methods of capturing an image, with all lighting and effects captured in-camera as one image wherever possible. She is also very familiar with digital composite work.

Clients have included Air New Zealand, Campbell's, Kellogg’s, Les Mills, National Bank, Prime TV, Tourism Australia and Vodafone.
