Julie Derbyshire is a photographic artist based in London. She holds an MA Photography, London College of Communication (UAL) and a BA Photography, University of Westminster and works from a studio based at the historic Chiswick House and Gardens. She exhibits regularly in the UK and abroad and her work is held in private collections. Amongst a number of recognitions, she has been a finalist in the Arte Laguna Prize Venice and the Travers Smith Art Awards and was awarded the Photofusion Prize.
Julie works in the genres of still life and landscape photography and her practice is research based and process led. Informed by art history and her own lived experience, she explores themes of fragility, transience and the universality of our shared human condition. She employs the medium of photography as the final distillation of a creative process that encompasses acts of fabrication, manipulation and disruption and experiments with different techniques, materials and visualisations to suit each series of work. She approaches photography as an instrument of illusion, to beguile rather than document. By exploring the potential of the photographic artist to conjure new meaning, she invites the viewer to reflect and question what lies beyond the image.
