Julia Forrest is a Brooklyn based artist with a recent BFA in Photography. She works completely in film and prints all images within the darkroom built in her apartment. Her own artwork has always been the top priority despite today’s digital world, she chooses film’s old processing development. While the camera is a tool used to reveal reality, Julia instead creates surreal environments, resulting in “tricking” the camera into what it sees.
For me, being a photographer is more then simply making photographs of what I see before me. Rather, my photography is an expression of how I empathize with the world and how I relate to what I see in my viewfinder. It is not a matter of visiting a place, making photographs and leaving. It is about getting to know the people and places I photograph, which can only be accomplished over extended periods of time. It is about trying to step out of my world and into theirs. To sometimes stop being a photographer, put down the camera, and listen and talk instead.
I do not believe that any photographer is capable of showing the entire truth of the world in their photographs. Human nature does not allow one to be completely impartial. And I do not believe that my own work is any different in this regard. My photographs are my take on the people, places and events that I chose to photograph. They are just one point of view, but it is my point of view. In that, they are unique expressions, for no two people ever see the same thing in the same way.

“Self-Titled”
Rebecca’s Salon Photos
The desire to understand the mysteries of the universe, and the inevitable tension created when our understanding reaches its limits, is the core of much of my work. My pieces often document attempts to reduce the infinite complexity of the world to concrete visual representations; in a sense, to diagram life. In devising and documenting such tactics, I am expressing the urge to acquire knowledge that wonder constitutes, but unlike a good researcher, my pieces are not necessarily designed to offer conclusions.

F=d x t; Force=distance x time
Through the understanding of the equation of Force and its inherent components, it can be seen how Force directly influences an individual’s perspective of a particular object. Therefore, it is no surprise that there is an infinite number of opinions resulting from the object’s spectrum of perspectives.
When in the position of considering an object with a macro-, “bigger picture” view, there seems to be an effortless conclusion of finding compositional balance. Conversely, on the micro-level, the “under the skin” position, true chaos is revealed. Macro-level balance is the result of the juxtaposition of two polar opposites bearing identical weight and/or force. This object duality described is the tying concept behind all Artistic creations.
