Artist Insight: Julia Mora

I like to capture moments. I like to go back and relive them.

I usually find myself photographing the same things, the same people and the same parts of my friends’ bodies. It kind of guides me to a reflection of how I create.

I like to experiment with formats; I’ve been doing analog photography since 2016 which has helped me gain more and more confidence on how I take pictures in other formats. As someone born in 1995, I grew up along the change that led us to the Digital Era we live in. Film photography brings me to when I was a child and even to a period I didn’t live in, which makes me feel like I am handling an ancient object or something like that whenever I take photos.

In the end, I like the tangible feeling of negatives, the sound of the camera, the care you must have with all the elements involved in analog photography.
