Julia Cumes


Julia was born, and grew up in South Africa and moved to the United States as a 16-year-old. She first fell in love with photography as a teenager in South Africa when she began shooting black and white film and printing her own work. Since then she has completed a B. A. at Brandeis University, an M.F.A. in writing at Cornell University, a Masters in Photojournalism at Syracuse University's Newhouse School and has been working as a freelance photographer ever since. She currently freelance for a variety of newspapers, magazines and organizations. Her work has appeared in the Boston Globe, New York Times, Newsweek, The Chicago Tribune, USA Today, the London Times, Washington Post, Cape Business Magazine and Boston Magazine to name a few. She loves working on photo stories and recently had the opportunity to work on a long-term multi-media project in India about India's Devadasi tradition. Her goal is to create images that move and inform, to make images that are beautiful, and capture in a unique way this extraordinary and complex world we live in.
