Julian Calverley
Julian has been creating imagery in one form or another since he was old enough to hold a paint brush. Commercially he is represented in London, New York and Hong Kong. His work has been featured in the Association of Photographers awards, and regularly in the ‘Lürzer’s Archive 200 Best Ad Photographers Worldwide’ annual. He is the author of the book ‘#IPHONEONLY’ A book of landscape photographs made entirely on an iPhone.
Many people are probably only aware of Julian Calverley for his iPhone photographs and subsequent book. These gained a huge amount of coverage for Julian, so much that I think he's a little fed up of the iphonographer label. However, Julian's work is so much more than just the mobile phone and a bit of post processing. His bread and butter work are in high end advertising photography for clients such as the car manufacturers Land Rover, Aston Martin and Mercedes or well-known brands such as Marks and Spencer, NatWest and Santander “
He also uses a 'proper' camera for his landscape work (the iphone started as just a way of taking notes), and the results are more impressive and equally expressive as his iphone photographs.
Julian joined us at the Photography Show on the Linhof Studio stand in March 2016 and will be giving a talk at our conference in November 2016 (click here for more information).
About Julian
Julian has been creating imagery in one form or another since he was old enough to hold a paint brush. Born in Hertfordshire in 1964, he very quickly demonstrated a love and natural talent for drawing and painting, in particular, watercolour landscape work.
After a brief and uninspiring spell at art college, Julian realised it was the mix of photography and traditional darkroom skills that would allow him to express himself most effectively. The next few years saw experience gained with various studios and in 1988, at 24 years old, Julian set up his first studio and darkroom.
Commercially he is represented in London, New York and Hong Kong. His work has been featured in the Association of Photographers awards, and regularly in the ‘Lürzer’s Archive 200 Best Ad Photographers Worldwide’ annual. He is the author of the book ‘#IPHONEONLY’ A book of landscape photographs made entirely on an iPhone.
