Reviews
A course by Julien Marchand
Based in the south of France, Julien Marchand started out working in publishing, but his passion for photography soon took over. In addition to teaching, he has produced tutorials for Adobe Lightroom and collaborated with the brand Uma Oath. His Instagram account blank.city has already gained 35K followers.
Julien's photographic approach could be summed up as a real urban treasure hunt motivated by a quest for form, light, and color. He also devotes a great deal of time to post-production work.
