Ultimate Photo Tips: About Us

Julie Waterhouse is the author and photographer behind the Ultimate Photo Tips website.

She is a digital fine art photographer residing in Markham, Canada, just a short drive from the local farmland and woods she loves to photograph.

Julie's education and training is in the IT field. For more than 15 years, she has worked as a developer and consultant in the software industry. Since her career in the IT profession was leaving her creative needs unmet, she turned to photography to fill this gap.

Julie is passionate about photography, and loves to teach workshops, coach one-on-one, and share her passion in any way she can. This website was born out of a desire to reach even more budding photographers through writing and the World Wide Web.

She has taken photographic courses and workshops from Freeman Patterson, Tony Sweet, Richard Martin and John Paul Caponigro, who are some of her favorite photographers; her work reflects their influences.

Julie's photography has won numerous awards, and her prints have been exhibited internationally.
