We are over the moon to welcome Julie Wrathall to the Jet Black Squares’ family!
Julie is based in Cornwall where she practices as an artist and photographer, exploring the diverse and beautiful natural environment right on her doorstep. She is now offering smartphone photography workshops around Cornwall, giving you the chance to explore in detail the stunning locations this county has to offer. So, if you and your family are travelling to Cornwall, why not add on this fascinating and creative excursion and find out more about the hidden gems in the area.
Why smartphone photography?
The incredible progression in smartphones means that nearly all of us now carry a state-of-the-art camera right in our pockets. This has made digital photography much more accessible and affordable. Yet many people are not getting the full use out of their smartphone cameras, which is something we are keen to change!
What will we do on the workshop?
Our group and 1-to-1 sessions run for 2 hours, over which time we will explore together a specific location in Cornwall, such as the beautiful costal towns of Bude or Boscastle. Here, Julie will introduce you to the area’s picturesque locations, local flora and fauna and the iconic Cornish coastline. While doing so, Julie will take you through your smartphone camera and give insider tips on how to capture some great shots. At the end of the session, you will find out more about free editing tools to give your pictures that added zing.
This is a wonderful opportunity that the whole family can enjoy together, leaving you with the tools to go off and capture an unforgettable holiday.
About Julie
Photography has always been at the foundation of my work. I’m passionate about exploring the extraordinary within nature and the environment – from early morning ice formations, a rainbow-coloured oil stain, old weathered doors, or reflections on the beach. The development of smartphone cameras means I am always able to capture these unexpected details while out and about.
Helping others to discover their creativity is something I’m very passionate about, having run art workshops in Hertfordshire for many years. Now I have moved back to my childhood home in North Cornwall, I’m excited about this new chapter in my practice and the opportunity to share my home county with locals and visitors alike.
