SAM JULIAN Outstanding photographer

Sam Julian was a relative newcomer to photography but, as a Year 12 student, he gained a 2016 NCEA Outstanding Scholarship award in the subject.

Sam says he was originally doing art, but decided, although he really enjoyed it, it was all a bit messy and he wanted to do something that was more portable. “I was already exposed to photography through social media, and in the third term last year, Ms Kempthorne [photography teacher] asked me if I wanted to try for a Scholarship, so I thought I would give it a go. I had considered going for a Scholarship in art history and graphics. Mr Holland had made it clear I could get a Scholarship

in graphics, but I had never considered photography.’’

In compiling his photography portfolio, Sam decided he wanted to explore something he felt was really meaningful.
