Yulia uses her lens to study the relation of people to place, space to time, and herself to others as a human being. People in their environment, street scenes, and nature are her interests, and finding beauty and humanity in seemingly ordinary moments of daily life inspires her. Yulia is intrigued by how streets come alive, and enjoys capturing candid portraits of people in their own world and thoughts. She likes stopping these moments in time and catching the ephemeral life in them, all the while being fully present in the here and now, ready to capture that critical moment. The pursuit for the real gives her clarity and freedom of being.
