 Software essentials

Over the years I have spent probably 1000’s hours trying, learning and editing images in a variety of programs. I have Youtube videos and Blog posts, years worth. So I thought I would put together a list of links for each program on a separate page for ease of use. Whether it’s Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop, Capture One, Luminar, or one of the other various programs out there, I have probably played with it.


Camera extras

Looking for all things camera wise, look no further, I have curated a list of articles and videos to help you out.

“Over the past few years, I have been trying to learn light painting.  I found a few tutorials but I couldn’t quite get it and got frustrated and stopped trying. I was searching the Web, and came across Julie’s beautiful photos so I looked for her website and saw that she had a class on Light Painting. Her class was very easy to understand as she gives so much information with videos and written instructions. This is just what I needed and I was able get the results that I was looking for. I am so happy I found Julie and look forward to continuing my education with her.”

I’ve done a Dark and Moody still life course with Julie and it was awesome. Small sized group and excellent props and advice. I was a bit nervous about attending but Julie is welcoming and very professional. I learnt so much, cannot wait until I can do another one. Highly recommend.

I have thoroughly enjoyed learning, exploring and challenging myself with 'still life' photography. It is something I had dabbled in a little bit during 2018 and before starting the 12 week course.

The weekly challenges have been fantastic and seeing other's interpretation of each theme has provided me with a lot of inspiration.

Thank you for providing me with this awesome opportunity, your videos and guidance has been very valuable, and I really look forward to seeing what you bring next year.

For me, learning something completely new, I really love seeing how the images are treated in the editing software. Because you can take a good photograph to great or vice versa with how it is edited. 
Always happy to get freebies tho! But being a visual learner, the layout and manor the course is delivered in, also helps. And your courses, both I'm doing, have beautiful pictures, clear instruction and are visual feast for the eyes. I can tell you have put a lot of work into it, it really does show. Its apparent right throughout your classes AND your website.

As a landscape and people photographer, i have always been curious about food and still life photography. Julie's website is simply beautiful that captures the light and the images looks peaceful, moody and romantic. I have gone to two of Julie's workshops and am halfway through her online courses. I highly recommend these. The workshops are fun and relaxing. Julie knows her subject matter and does not get too technical. I am grateful for Julies work as they have paved the way for my style and interest. So reader, have a look at Julie's classes and enjoy

Julie, thank you for introducing me to this fabulous genre of photography. The 'For The Love Of Food' on-line course is fantastic. I love the challenges (my Sunday afternoons 'me time') that get me out of my comfort zone and thinking about different ways to photograph food. The 'bite-size' sessions are perfect, the information provided, tips, recipes and videos are inspiring and extremely helpful. This is one genre that I will happily continue on with.
