I have to admit at first I was a little concerned, I too came from a skateboarding film background, and have great inspiration from it. Not from playing with dads camera after the ball game. Constantly being on the street from age 14 with a video camera etc.. then I took up photography, this was 20 years ago. I look at this work and find it to be great. Yeah its not gregory crewdson but still good. Nothing bad to say. what happen just liking something or not instead of sitting back crying about how you are not getting attention because you think you are ” better” i don’t get it. The more I look at it the more I like it .

The “fall” of Fstoppers to me is the readers, who seem to only b*tch and complain. Shut up and go take some photos you idiots.

As as fellow young photographer starting out I’d have to say that anyone hating on Julian for the content of his photographs is an idiot. He’s 21 years old, and frankly if you had any idea how expansive social media is you would realize that his work is reaching out, appealing to, and inspiring a lot of the youth that utilizes those medias. Let’s not forget how other now professionals started out such as Terry Richardson and Brad Elterman (who have stories not that different from Julian). Julian takes a really clean simple approach and it’s the quality of those images that makes him stand out. I really appreciate someone so young taking a passion and making it a career because it gives hope to others and myself that their dreams are not unattainable in an age of a seemingly creative depression (as a reference to his peers, because I have also seen that in my classrooms).

As far as those of you with negative feedback, let me ask you where you were at the age of 21 in your field. How accomplished were you? How much determination did you have? It’s easy to discredit someone who you clearly older jaded people see as merely a kid with some famous friends but frankly Julian isn’t riding anyone’s coat tails. He is paving his own way and his humble attitude and undeniable talent are helping him make a name for himself.
So quit crying and go pick up YOUR camera and do something instead of cutting down a guy who is doing what he loves because you’ve lost your own ambition.

Yes there are pictures of foot braces and palm trees, but it’s the quality of those photos that show that Julian is so talented. Lets see your pictures of steamers and palm trees!
Very nice article Julian! Keep it up xx

Let’s have a race, Julian versus yourself to see who gets picked up for a major label’s cover art first. Aaaaaand Go.
