Yulia
Yulia is a photographer and visual storyteller based in Tallinn whose work captures fleeting moments through a cinematic lens.
What mediums, roles or fields you move through?
I work across visual media, primarily photography and videography. My focus is on evoking emotion, I want people to feel something. My work is rooted in atmosphere, sensitivity, and a cinematic quality/style
Ideas, processes, or directions you’re exploring?
I’m exploring ways of noticing and capturing life as it unfolds, observing, feeling, and holding onto fleeting moments. It’s about channeling my sensitivity into something meaningful and expressive.
Favorite project you’ve done & why
I don’t have one single favorite, but through my work I realized what I love most is capturing moments as if they were frames from a film.
Current obsession?
Yellow subtitles.
What kinds of projects, collaborations or contexts are you open to?
I’m open to a wide range of projects and collaborations. I’m especially interested in experimenting with photography and video across different contexts, genres, and with diverse people.
Your era moment
One defining moment was shooting the Antonia’s exhibition event. It was my first real touchpoint with era, and it felt exciting and meaningful to be part of that environment.
What’s next?
I’d love to create my first photo exhibition and continue growing in a more cinematic direction, developing work that feels like film stills.
A song to listen to?
« Levels » by Avicii, it always lifts me up, especially during my darker moments.
A film to watch?
« Mr. Nobody » because it explores the butterfly effect and the idea that our lives are shaped by the choices we make. Even the smallest decisions can change the course of our destiny, and I find that deeply powerful.
Love and respect pigeons, don’t treat them like urban outcasts. I genuinely love these birds 🙂
