Overview：
I'm a Still Life Photographer. My experience includes shooting campaigns and social media for well established brands such as Oil of Olay and Laura Mercier, as well as launching brands including Supergoop! and Emilie Heathe.
In addition to stills, I also have experience shooting GIFs and some stop-motion, as well as directing video content.
With several years of experience under my belt, I am able to see a project from conception to completion and will be as involved as the client wants me to be. I enjoy tackling new challenges, bending light, and creating exciting and engaging content for this fast paced world.

超哥短评：
2011年美国旧金山艺术大学艺术摄影专业本科，毕业后先做了3年的自由职业，和摄影师合作，也有一些国际的商务旅行。2014年开始成立了自己的摄影工作室Comita，承接独立的项目。
她的优势（自称）在于自己独特的视角、用光，以及对细节的追求。
重要客户包括了很多的大牌公司，比如Bobbi Brown、Uniqlo、Pepsi等。
2014年国内就有人发现了她发表的作品，并把它们转发在豆瓣上
Julia Comita，美国摄影师，现居旧金山，她执迷于传统胶片摄影。最近她开始在探索与数字媒介的融合。其作品以女性主体为主题，常常探究内在矛盾的美丽，呈现出超现实主义摄影风格。

Julia 2018年才开始Upwork平台的接单生涯，但是仅仅依靠8个项目，从2018年6月到2019年10月，一年多一点点的时间，就获得了将近18万美金的成绩。
优秀的商业摄影师往往可以得到比较高的报酬，我们可以看到，Julia的品牌产品摄影，单个项目就可能达到数万美金的金额。
关键是，还很有趣：）
"This was a super fun job. They client provided an exciting brief and we worked together to achieve the best possible images for their needs. It's always a dialogue with Olay and feels like a true collaborative effort. I would absolutely recommend working with their team to anyone."
"Olay is a great client to work with. They set reasonable expectations for work that is fun and also creatively challenging. Their ideas are fresh and they are open to feedback/ideas making it a collaborative effort - a rare trait! I am very much looking forward to the opportunity to work with them again in the future."
客户的需求，和Julia在用光、创意风格上的努力
My client wanted seasonal and flexible imagery to support their product in an illustrative way. I utilized several different qualities of light and worked to design images with the props stylist and creative director so that we were able to successfully execute dozens of images for different uses.
同一个客户给了她持续的项目，持续的大项目。
看看她的其他作品。
在项目计费上，她全都采用了固定费率，并没有用小时费率。
高高的小时费率和优质的大项目，帮助她树立了高品质的专业形象。
专业的摄影师拿作品说话，在她的网站上，分享了更多的成功案例。
有很多动画GIF，也是非常可爱。
除了承接客户项目，她还开班了摄影教学，做一些线下的摄影指导。
另外，她还拍摄了一个专题系列的视频“如何变美“：）
