ABOUT JULIA

Julia Duckworth is a photographer well disguised as a food & drinks scientist, nutritionist, and wine enthusiast.

Julia was born in Boston, Massachusetts and raised in Savannah, Georgia.

Julia had a creative childhood full of dance, painting, music, and photography. Julia was a dancer in Savannah Danse Theatre, Columbia City, and Ballet South where she studied under Karena Brock-Carlyle (Principal Dancer of the American Ballet Theatre sharing roles with such stars as Natalia Makarova, Cynthia Gregory, and Carla Fracci partnering with stars such as Rudolph Nureyev, Ivan Nagy, Fernando Bujones, and Mikhail Baryshnikov).

At the age of 14, Julia received her first camera, a Minolta 35mm SLR. She took it on a family vacation to Maine and Vermont and by the time she returned home her interest in photography was enough to lead her to purchase wide-angle and telephoto lenses. She began photographing coastal landscapes in and around Savannah and developing her own film and prints. Even at an early age, her work showed strong artistic merit. She received 2 photography awards before completing prep school. Later Julia attended Vanderbilt University and studied Psychology before pursuing Masters Degrees in Food Science and Nutrition.
