One of the best things about my work is the opportunity to meet loads of new people from different walks of life. Some of them have said very nice things about me; it’s much appreciated.
Angela McKillop, Top Spec Contracts
“Julie, this is absolutely fantastic. You just sold me my own company!!”
Jon Bolton, Focused on Learning
“I have hired Julie as a photographer twice in the last 6 weeks – once for a major conference and once for new stock company photos. On both occasions, she just… got on with things! For the conference, she captured everything that we wanted and more – branding, displays, delegates, speakers, the venue etc. – which all added up to tell the story of the day and create a record of the event. I was very happy with the results, and will definitely use Julie again.”
Douglas Harkison
“Julie produced an excellent set of headshots and took the time to meet the needs of a subject who hates being photographed. She produced a broad and varied contact sheet of photographs to choose from that helped get exactly what I needed. Great flexibility, patience and value for money.”
Rosemary Mackenzie, Mellow Parenting
“Never having hired a photographer before, we didn’t really know what to expect when Julie covered our conference; she was very friendly, put everyone at ease, unobtrusive and took some remarkable shots, fully capturing the essence of our event. We were delighted with her work and would thoroughly recommend her to others (we have already!)”
Peter Aitken
“Julie joined me in the field, literally, to take photographs of my dogs, Jack and Sam. Throughout the walk Julie was professional, friendly and personable. I believe it is her genuine love of animals coupled with years of experience behind the lens that allowed Julie to capture such magnificent pictures of Jack and Sam.”
Sheila Kane
“As a rescue dog from The Dog’s Trust, Jess can still be a little bit timid, but Julie’s calm and relaxed attitude really put her at ease. I just love the picture of ‘Pudsey Jess’ that Julie took of her. It’s my favourite picture of Jess as it captures her cheeky personality in a nutshell.”
Brian Barnes, Online Business Manager/Owner of Time Assistant
“After years of avoiding the camera, it had become necessary to have some marketing head shots done for my business. I couldn’t believe how nervous I was about having pictures taken, however, with Julie’s professional but calming approach, she made the shoot fun and enjoyable. She continually communicated well with me from the set up to the final deliverable product and would only use photos I was happy with. I am now looking forward to the next set of staff shots that we will be doing very soon. Thanks Julie”
Laura Boyd and Kirstin Lynn, Rock Chic Event Organisers
‘It was an absolute pleasure to have Julie shooting at our grand scale charity fashion rocks event. She was incredibly organised, reliable, enthusiastic and met our needs entirely whilst allowing her own creativity to shine. The event was a hectic affair and regardless of an incredibly busy night with the crowd at capacity, Julie captured mini-moments from start to finish, perfectly encapsulating music, colour, fashion, emotion and creativity in her imagery as visual keepsakes. We would most certainly love to work with her again in our future venutures.’ – see my Rock Chic photos on Flickr.
Jamie ‘Afro’ Archer, X Factor pop star
“Julie’s photos are amongst the best I’ve seen of me. Loved them and her. Amazing work!”
Maeve MacKinnon, Singer
“Julie Broadfoot is one of the best live photographers I have ever worked with. She has a unique talent and is able to capture ambiance, warmth and light in her pictures, always unobtrusively. She is a joy to work with.” - see my photos of Maeve on Flickr, one of which featured in an exhibition I held at the BBC.
Carrie Mac, Singer
“Julie was a real pleasure to work with – she really knows how to capture great live photos, has a great understanding of the person she is working with and what kinda photos they want!” – you can see loads of my photos of Carrie on Flickr.
Patricia Panther, Singer
“I asked Julie to take some photos of me whilst performing, after seeing pictures she took at Celtic Connections. I found Julie to be a highly creative individual, with the confidence to communicate her ideas and passion for photography whilst maintaining the utmost professionalism! She has the ability to spot and frame a beautiful shot, utilising the lighting and the surrounding environment for her subject. She put me at ease and snapped away discreetly whilst I was singing on stage. The results were fabulous and will be used on forthcoming promotional material.”
Helena Gibney, OneKind
“We hired Julie to photograph two very different fundraising events [firewalk and live gig]. Aside from the quality of her work being fantastic, she is punctual, professional, puts her subjects at ease and delivers her work speedily following the event. Highly recommended.”
Lisa Whytock, Active Events
“Julie shot some amazing photos for us at Showcase Scotland 2010. The brief was difficult and involved crowd shots, a music industry Trade Fair as well as receptions and seminars. She was great and worked under pressure, as well as understanding exactly what we were looking for.”
Andreas Thut, ex-BBC Technical Project Manager
“Julie has a rare combination of strong skills in both the journalistic and the technical realm. She is a dedicated and passionate web producer who stands out for constantly keeping abreast on any new development in her field of competence and a profound understanding of online audiences.”
Wil Freeborn, Web Designer
“It was a pleasure working with Julie, she has a real understanding of how to get the best out of a website and has a rare gift of communicating well with an online audience. As well as being very professional, her enthusiasm for the field she works in means she’s up to date with new developments.”
Gill Davies, ex-BBC New Media Editor
“Julie has excellent writing skills for web and has extensive experience in managing user-generated content.”
Amanda Verlaque, BBC Producer (River City)
“Julie’s passion and enthusiasm for her work was always a delight and I enjoyed working with her. She is an immensely talented and dedicated individual.”
