About Julia Posta

I am Julia, a UK based Hungarian photographer.

I am fascinated by the playfulness of photography. For me, there is a lot of playfulness in the process; not only in capturing and making an image, but also in the afterlife of that picture. The dynamics of the creative process lies in finding the most aesthetic detail in the otherwise obvious, and the viewers will repeat this process when they try to make sense of what they see in the image.

What I like the most about abstraction is that I can invite my audience to discover these intrinsic details through my lens.

My works are not manipulated images, they are photographs. In fact, they are vivid imprints of the lyrical visuality within me, connections to my subjective self. The random arrangements and colours display playfulness and are essentially accidental; at the same time they are the end result of a very conscious choice to expose an unbelievable slice of reality.

I perceive these creations as connections between the creator and the image, the image and the viewer.
I hope that it will be an exciting experience for my viewers to discover these connections and details in my work.
