Biography

Julia Corren grew up running around the Sandhills in Nebraska. She is currently exploring the Black Hills region of South Dakota and attending Black Hills State University. Pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography with minors in Graphic Communications and Creative Writing.

Julia first started photography in her counties 4-H chapter. In recent years she has gotten the privilege to go back, and share what she has learned with the new members by judging photography at different civic competitions.

I have always been a story teller. I love to make people respond deeply to a narrative through good story telling. Photography has taught me that there are many different ways to craft a tale. Through bright colors and whimsical settings, I want people to step into my photographs and experience a story of their own.

I have a tendency to make a short story long and this is also reflected in my work. You better believe that every small detail is there for a reason and has its own meaning behind it. From the color used to the small objects hidden in the corners.
