Mentoring

Do you need that bit of feedback and extra guidance from a trusted person to help you take your images up to the next level?

I am able to do this by assisting you in your photographic practice to more clearly communicate your vision.

 

Is your photography or photo-media practice important enough to you to invest in professional expertise and guidance?

If so, I offer my professional mentoring consultancy, to support and develop the value you place in expressing yourself and your vision through your photography.

Have a read through my mentoring flyer

Investing in equipment is considered mandatory and not given a second thought, but investing in valuable and necessary expertise and guidance offered by trusted and respected teachers and mentors is equally as important.

I dedicate myself wholeheartedly as a mentor; to listen, observe, discern and to offer suggestions and guidance.

Through this programme I offer exclusive, personalised, confidential, one-on-one feedback, tuition, discussion and guidance in relation to your photo-media practice.

Whether your photo-media is of the environment you are in, is staged or directed, or heavily manipulated or transformed; I am able to mentor you to help you to create images which communicate more effectively.

Learning how to ‘listen’ to what your own images say is imperative if you want to be able to express your vision through them. All aspects of your photo-media practice will be considered in assisting you to create more powerful, expressive images.

Because I only mentor a small number of students, and application process is required.

Please refer to my brochure and contact me by email for application guidelines.

About the Author: Julie
I am a Journeywoman. I live my life as an explorer. An adventurer. An Observer. An Artist. There is no differentiation between how I live my life and the art that is an expression of it. It is through my experience adventuring the unknown, that I learn more about myself. My aim through this connection is to live where my expression is fully in alignment with the essence of who I am. “In the field of Fine-Art Photography, Julie stands apart from others with the way she sees the world and expresses her connection within it. Julie Stephenson’s photographs are sublime. Her work is an expression of her deep connection; and a gift to the world.”

  • Roadtrippin’ vintage car style. Our journeys aren’t your usual road trip, but tbh is the BEST way to experience the world. It’s tough. It’s exhausting. It’s incredibly rewarding and fulfilling. 

We would not have had the incredibly rich experiences with others throughout the world, had we been in a ‘normal’ vehicle or tour group. 

I would not have held the hands of women and hugged with acknowledgement of each other had we not been in our 100 year old ‘Penny’. 

Love to know the ways you’ve travelled where you’ve connected spontaneously with local people.

  • Every journey becomes part of who I am. Remote travel is my passion! 

I love the snow and have learned so much from my experiences in those cold environments.

I spent some time lying in the snow beside the forest waiting to be found when I injured and tore all my ligaments in my knee. 

In the silence between the snowflakes I learned how to breathe with the pain. 

I miss the snow and cold of the Arctic. I miss the icebergs and frozen seas. 

I can still however weave my stories, and this one is from my memories of skiing and what I learned in the snow amongst the pines.

  • Ulan Batar, Mongolia. How did we manage this? 

Well… it starts in our shed! This is where the magic starts. Well… actually, the magic usually starts in a cafe in Maleny, where Max and i hatch up plans for our next adventures!

At the moment, feeling very privileged and grateful to have travelled so much of the world, especially together with Max in our 1923 Vauxhall, Penny. 

These journeys have shaped who I am, and have taught me to be bold and resilient! 

Shortly I’ll be shifting my focus of our journeys as the inspiration for my artisan blankets more to my new account @juliesstudiojourneys; so love for you to pop there and follow me; and spread the love by sharing my account.

  • We like it like this. Not your usual way to travel. Not as glamorous as you may think though. 

Vintage car travelling is so much fun! Rich. Rewarding. Exhausting. 

Penny, our 1923 Vauxhall has carried us safely around the world.

These journeys provide me with the inspiration for my unique luxury handwoven blankets.

What do you think of this kind of roadtrip?

  • The warp in my weaving loom. Not a time warp.. although at times it seems like that in my studio! 

Pictured here is not a time warp. It is a loom warp; the long threads which form the structure of a woven piece. 

Do you want to see more of my studio and the process of my weaving. I have available Julie’s Studio Zine; no ordinary Zine. It’s a carefully curated doorway into my world; designed for the curious, the adventurous, the collectors; and those who appreciate creative and soulful living. 

Each issue includes some of my travels, a studio visit and my personal Gifting Guide, for if you are ever stuck finding a gift for someone you care about. Have a peek… Link in Bio.

  • I have a new account - just for my weaving. No knitting .. but journeys, stories woven into blankets; and my studio! @juliesstudiojourneys 

I’m an artisan weaver who weaves soulful blankets from my journeys around the world. I’m completing my series on my journey to Africa. ‘My memories of the ‘African Skies’ has inspired many truly beautiful blankets.

All of my handwoven blankets take time. I weave each one with intention and care. Every thread passes through my hands. Memories pass through my fingertips. 

Each of my blankets then becomes part of another’s story. I have a small number of these artisan blankets available to purchase for yourself; or the perfect gift for someone in your life who matters to you. 

I also write a Zine- no ordinary e-magazine! 

Julie’s Studio Zine One contains  Journals from my adventures; a peek into my studio; and my own Gifting Guide; to help you choose a soulful gift when you’re stuck to find the perfect gift for someone you care about. 

Follow my adventures, see how I weave my stories into artisan blankets; and have a look at my Zine. Have a peek - Link in Bio and come with me and follow @juliesstudiojourneys

  • Why do I choose these colours for my handwoven blankets? 

As an artist, each and every work I create is an expression of my lived experience. I’ve woven this beautiful blanket from my experiences with my family in Africa.

My yarns and colours for each of my weavings are consciously chosen. I choose colours which I feel from my memories. As I weave, I let my instincts guide me in choosing from the colours I’ve gathered.

Colour is important. Every colour has a purpose. For me, it is the key to the soul of a piece.

No, I do not approach my weaving in a way that is “a good way to use up left-over or scrap yarn”. That is just not how I roll. 

If I were doing a painting, I would not use a paint colour just for the sake of ‘finishing it all up’, so why would I do that with my weaving? Would you? 

What do you think about the colour choices in my handwoven blankets? 

I’d also love to hear how you approach colour in your own creative work—comments, questions and DMs are always welcome.

Penny, our 1923 Vauxhall has carried us safely around the world. These journeys provide me with the inspiration for my unique luxury handwoven blankets. What do you think of this kind of roadtrip? Love you to share my journeys with others and to see more.. Link in Bio. #roadtripping #vintagecar #vintagecarsdaily #luxurygifts #adventuretravel

The warp in my weaving loom. Not a time warp.. although at times it seems like that in my studio! Pictured here is not a time warp. It is a loom warp; the long threads which form the structure of a woven piece. Do you want to see more of my studio and the process of my weaving. I have available Julie’s Studio Zine; no ordinary Zine. It’s a carefully curated doorway into my world; designed for the curious, the adventurous, the collectors; and those who appreciate creative and soulful living. Each issue includes some of my travels, a studio visit and my personal Gifting Guide, for if you are ever stuck finding a gift for someone you care about. Have a peek… Link in Bio. #uniquegiftideas #handwovenblanket #luxurygiftideas #artisanmade #perfectgifts

I have a new account - just for my weaving. No knitting .. but journeys, stories woven into blankets; and my studio! @juliesstudiojourneys I’m an artisan weaver who weaves soulful blankets from my journeys around the world. I’m completing my series on my journey to Africa. ‘My memories of the ‘African Skies’ has inspired many truly beautiful blankets. All of my handwoven blankets take time. I weave each one with intention and care. Every thread passes through my hands. Memories pass through my fingertips. Each of my blankets then becomes part of another’s story. I have a small number of these artisan blankets available to purchase for yourself; or the perfect gift for someone in your life who matters to you. I also write a Zine- no ordinary e-magazine! Julie’s Studio Zine One contains Journals from my adventures; a peek into my studio; and my own Gifting Guide; to help you choose a soulful gift when you’re stuck to find the perfect gift for someone you care about. Follow my adventures, see how I weave my stories into artisan blankets; and have a look at my Zine.

Why do I choose these colours for my handwoven blankets? As an artist, each and every work I create is an expression of my lived experience. I’ve woven this beautiful blanket from my experiences with my family in Africa. My yarns and colours for each of my weavings are consciously chosen. I choose colours which I feel from my memories. As I weave, I let my instincts guide me in choosing from the colours I’ve gathered. Colour is important. Every colour has a purpose. For me, it is the key to the soul of a piece. No, I do not approach my weaving in a way that is “a good way to use up left-over or scrap yarn”. That is just not how I roll. If I were doing a painting, I would not use a paint colour just for the sake of ‘finishing it all up’, so why would I do that with my weaving? Would you? What do you think about the colour choices in my handwoven blankets? I’d also love to hear how you approach colour in your own creative work—comments, questions and DMs are always welcome.
