Julia Hawkins, Thanks For The Nectarines, 1/5, 'I started photographing fruit at the beginning of the Covid pandemic. Home alone and furloughed, I noticed the beauty of the fresh fruit and vegetables that were delivered to my door every week. I'd always taken them for granted, but I now felt very grateful for these small joys. I have experimented with different lighting setups since then, but I always come back to natural light, against a dark background'. Printed on Giclée Hahnemühle German Etching paper, framed, 35.5cm x 43.5cm overall
Julia is an award-winning photographer spanning portraiture, documentary and fine art photography. The themes of connection and stillness run through all her work. Diagnosed with ME/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in late 2021 and unable to work for many months, she started to develop a more regular photographic practice. Now able to work part-time, she has recently completed a portrait photo book about loneliness which will be published by The School of Life in late 2025. She continues to develop her fine art photography, and was part of a ‘Women in Art’ photography exhibition curated by ECAD at Cromwell Place, South Kensington in March 2023.
Julia was one of the winners of the British Journal of Photography’s Portrait of Britain Award in 2024, and was also shortlisted for the US Be Still Media Prize for her loneliness project in 2024. Prior to becoming a photographer she spent more than 20 years working in international development and sustainability.
