Julien Mauve
I am a 29 years old parisian photographer, who works as a digital project manager.

As long as I can remember I have always had a camera in my hand, but going from Fischer Price to Canon took me quite a few years. I started to consider photography seriously only four years ago, while practicing on friends, landscapes and objects, trying to understand and apprehend natural lights. At these times I progressively found myself very interested by scenaristic photographs, being influenced by the work of people such as Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Jeff Wall, Duane Michals, Mac Adams, Gregory Crewdson or Ellen Kooi... Later on, in 2011, I began my first photography project with the will to experiment artificial lights.

Back To Childhood was published in march 2012 and got viral on the web a few weeks later. It relates the poetic and anachronistic story of toys I had when I was young, imagined in adult life situations. This first work was published by influential blogs such as Fubiz, Petapixel, MyModernMet, Trendsnow, BBC and much more all over the world...

I signed my first contract as a photographer with a gallery and made my first exhibition in Paris in July 2012.
