IULIA DAVID

PHOTOGRAPHER

I am a London based photographer specialising in editorial, commercial  fashion, and beauty portrait photography.  Born in a family of artists I have always been surrounded  by art and curious in knowing the latest trends. My style is simple and clean with an edge.  I think it is all about a collaborative synergy, bringing the most out of my team to create beautiful, compelling photographs.

In regards to the feedback and what I could say about the courses:

I had the pleasure of working for Veronica at the end of her course. As an experienced beauty photographer I have worked with many different makeup artists. All I can say, is that her students definitely are learning from the best in the industry. The attention to detail and the tecniques used, made me see even more how important is to have a good teacher and attend a proper course. I definitely recommend Mmakup Academy to anyone wanting to enter in this industry.
