In her work, Julieanne Kost is able to combine a passion for photography, a mastery of digital imaging techniques, and with a degree in psychology, finds within herself the raw components of visual emotion. Her explorations run quite the gamut, some as mundane as textures she finds grotesque – and therefore challenging to look at much less utilize in her work - to exploring the inner workings of her own skeletal system. Individually, the ingredients don't lend themselves to an end result. They are merely components of a larger message, though what that is may not be clear at the time the photograph is taken. The individual images are snippets of an emotion, reaction, or sensation. A texture, combined with something as simple as a photograph of a scar, can yield the visual sensation of the wound that caused it. Since physical pain cannot be "remembered" the same way it was felt, this is a visual placeholder. Julieanne’s work is an exploration of the sum of these parts - textures, light, shadow, and raw emotion.

Throughout her years as a photographer, Julieanne’s work has been published in various magazines, books and manuals, and has had numerous showings of her work. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of California at Davis and an Associate Art Degree in Fine Art Photography from Foothill Collage. Julieanne has worked for Adobe Systems for the past 12 years as a Graphic Designer, Technical Support Specialist and Photographer and currently serves as the Graphic Arts Evangelist. She frequently teaches courses in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and ImageReady at distinguished Fine Art and Photography Workshops, prominent industry trade shows and conferences around the world.
