Subject: Julie Skelton, a photographer who lives in Guildford, Surrey. Julie is married with three children.
Age range: 40-50 years.
Interests: Music, handicrafts, baking.
RJL: How did you become a Christian?
Julie: I come from a Christian home. When I was 14, I went on a young people’s weekend to Perthshire and on looking at what God has created, I realised that he had created me. On my return home I asked Jesus to be Lord of my life.
RJL: Please explain how you came to be a photographer.
Julie: I followed my father as a hobbyist photographer and gradually photography became my main hobby. I trained as an infants’ teacher, which I did for four years. When we started a family I gave up teaching. A professional photographer saw some of my photographs and encouraged me to pursue photography as a career. That was in 2008. I set up a website to show my portfolio and gradually added to it. Slowly at first, I received commissions. My reputation and business developed by word of mouth.
