Julie Mullin is a talented photographer from Belfast in Northern Ireland, who has created a collection of work which delves into the world of classical photography and also stretches into the depths of the experimental. In Julie’s own words:

To me, a photograph tells a story and even though we grow older, that piece of the story will continue and never change, the way the people in them do.
