Julie Abnet Photography

“If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn’t need to lug around a camera” – Lewis Hine

Photographs are the way I tell my story. I’ve always been a keen observer and collector of images. My camera allows me to share those images with others. I found my voice when I found photography. I employ digital photography to experiment with angles and lighting. I see things in a way I’ve not seen them before. m for me. I see things in a way I’ve not seen them before. I’m particularly drawn to details of flowers and plants. I’m able to achieve abstractions of everyday images as I use the macro lens. I take pictures every day and enjoy nothing more than watching them unfold.
