AG|WPJA The Artistic Guild of the WPJA

My name is Julia Unchura and like anyone else, I am defined by many things: I am a wife, daughter, and friend; I love to travel and I appreciate all the good things in life. But, above all, I am a photographer.

Born in Kiev, Ukraine, into a family of circus artists, I was raised in a very creative environment. My grandfather had a passion for photography and cinematography and my father, following him, was a photography enthusiast. Growing up in such a household, I developed respect for visual art which only deepened as I began my studies at a Ukrainian art school.

Although I’d been tinkering around with cameras since late childhood, my first serious attempt at photography was in 2004, using my father’s old digital Canon 10D. I was living in Canada by then and I was in love with the beautiful Canadian landscape; my early subjects include nature, flowers, and animals, along with friends and events. Read More... I continued studying art, attending various classes and workshops in Canada, New York, and Tel Aviv.

To my delight, I received positive feedback and praise about my photos! Friends who I had photographed began queuing up for more, engaging me for photo-shoots and important events. And I began to understand that photography can be more than a hobby. It’s a lifestyle, and, if you have the passion and talent, a profession.

My cultural and familial roots, education within the European school of photography, as well as the artistic influence of various photographers including Henri Cartier-Bresson and Yervant, have combined within me into a unique and distinctive photographic approach. I am also an upbeat and sensitive person. Work with me and I will put all the effort, skill, and love I possess into the production of your photos.

Today I work as a photographer and specializing in wedding photojournalism, family, and event photography. I handle a variety of projects from weddings to pets, sports to fashion to food, landscape to real estate, and everything in between!

Depending on the project, my style varies. For example, while my fashion photography makes use of lighting equipment and make-up, my portraiture is classic, relying on natural light, scenic backgrounds and minimal post-editing. The wedding photos I take have a photo-journalistic feel; I try not to intrude as a photographer, but capture the truth and beauty of special moments.
