This series of portraits are a collection of photographs of people who Juli enjoys to create.
Portraits represent the artist's start with photographs since she first got a camera in the late 90's, and it is also a way she finds to communicate current issues, also a way to interact with people and to be able to learn about their cultures, their stories and their lives. These photographs include images from fictitious characters, strangers, friends, families to commissions and personalities, who are mostly in the arts, humanitarian or environmental fields.
Juli is constantly looking forward to portraying people. Commissions or invitations are possible worldwide by contacting the studio in London.

Biography
Juli Manara is a Brazilian-born London-based visual artist mostly noticed by her surreal inspired works of large photomontages and conceptual photographs. The artist works with both digital and analogue techniques to build her final compositions. Her practices also include a wide range of different processes merging portraits, films and installations. Created figures and characters, mostly self-portraits, and botanics can be one of the main details through her playful images although she also explores contemporary social relationships and the environment we live. Juli's work has been part in many exhibitions, including a special selection to display at the Tate Modern in London (during Dora Maar's opening exhibition) and her work is also part of the National Library of France permanent collection, in Paris.
