Hello! My name is Julian Schmelzer, and I am a photographer, videographer, and editor based in the Boulder, Colorado area.
My background started in film and television, where I fell in love with storytelling and the feeling of capturing special moments. I graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design (June 2022) with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film and Television and a minor in Advertising and Branded Content. That eventually led me to photography, and I have been drawn to the same thing ever since; the in-between/candid moments, the energy, the little details, and the people that make a story worth remembering.
These days, I photograph everything from families, weddings/elopements to musicians, live shows, and portraits. I am especially drawn to work that feels natural, a little unexpected, and full of personality.
Whether we are running around in the mountains, hanging out before a show, or taking a few minutes to make something beautiful out of an ordinary day, I want the experience to feel easy.
My goal, no matter the kind of shoot, is to capture the raw and candid moments. The ones that will immediately take you back to that moment when you look at it, and that will spark whatever emotions you were feeling at the time, whether that be sad, happy, excited, etc. Life is about all those little moments and feelings, and I am thankful everyday that I have the ability to capture so many special and significant memories. I look forward to working with you!!
