My name is Julie Nakzi. I am a Syrian photographer and artist based in Utrecht.
For the last 6 years, I have been honing my skills in portrait photography, that bring the essence of my subjects to life.
Through my lens, I blend the unique narratives of each person and photoshoot. Inviting you to step into their world and experience it for yourself.
I create a positive and comfortable space where people feel safe to be themselves, allowing me to capture things as they truly are.
My work is a blend of aesthetics and storytelling, described as dreamy, nostalgic, and emotionally poignant.
Driven by a deep love for representation and connections, I turn both photos and stories into a timeless design that will serve as a cherished piece of work.
