About Julie McGuire

My passion for photography began at an early age with many hours spent in a darkened bedroom developing and printing teenage snaps.  By the mid-80s, my focus temporarily switched from shooting cameras to shooting guns during a stint in the Territorial Army.  Next came my 20-year transatlantic PR career, the art of story telling and imagery at its finest, during which time I was privileged to work with some of the best PR photographers in the business and their paparazzi counterparts.  I presided over events as diverse as the World Monopoly Championships in Monte Carlo and Ice-T’s Tupperware party in New York City, yet while the locations and subjects changed, one thing remained constant - my desire to get behind the lens.  At the end of 2005, I got that chance, leaving behind the glitz and glamour of Manhattan public relations to move the 8,000 miles to Bangalore, India, as ‘trailing spouse’ to my outsourced husband.  I spend my ‘relative’ free-time pursuing professional assignments, urban and not-so-urban travel photography, and continuing my photographic education, as well as writing about and PR-ing ‘stuff’ that piques my interest!
