Yulia Lebedeva is a still and moving image artist, who is driven by color and motion and captures the excitement of now.
21st century human relationships and interactions are at the core of my artistic practice. My photography focuses on capturing people in their various habitats, driven by colour, capturing the excitement of now. My work is rhythmic, feminine and self evolving. It grows from an intimate setting of one’s personal commodities, memorable symbolical elements into the utopian dream-like yet calculated and steady ambience. It feels almost like music with its own rules of rhythm, repetition and imagination.
Yulia began her journey in photography working in the studios of Juergen Teller in London and Annie Leibovitz in New York.
