Julia Blaukopf is a photographer, artist and designer. She focuses on visual storytelling with a social bent through photographs and mixed media works, as well as photo-based tiles, wallpaper, window panels, and environmental installations.
By examining the emblems that compose the everyday, Julia chronicles the lives of workers, farmers, and families while blurring the line between documentation and fine art. She has photographed for a women’s empowerment organization in Ghana, a reforestation project in Kenya, and collaborated with artists and organizations alike in Lithuania, Denmark, Holland, Germany, Sri Lanka and the United States. Most recently, Julia documented the members of Bonöre, a collective of indigenous women artisans in Panama.
