Photobook “Isolation”, Final Major Project by Juliette Roy
“I’ve worked very hard on this project, and I’m happy with the result because through the photobook, people can get to know me….
…Studying at LABA Valencia has allowed me to discover my own artistic voice and experiment with different techniques and projects.”
Juliette Roy, graduate in BAH in Photography and Video from LABA Valencia.
Juliette has developed a photobook composed of a series of analog images organized into nine chapters. Each one explores different interpretations of isolation, addressing a range of emotions, characters, and contexts.
Throughout this process, and with the guidance of her tutor Vincent Urbani, she has consolidated a distinctive artistic vision. Her work reflects a constant exploration that, over the years, has shaped a unique and recognizable visual language.
Her images place models, selected from like-minded creative profiles, in singular settings, from abandoned spaces to natural landscapes in Norway, creating atmospheres that connect with universal emotions.
This project marks a turning point in her trajectory. While the Final Major Project summarizes an academic stage, her book represents a decisive step forward in her exploration between photography and cinematography. As she states, “this is only the beginning”: a starting point that leaves a deep and lasting mark.
Special thanks to Vincent Urbani, Pau Gómez, Blanca Sanfélix, and the entire teaching team at LABA Valencia for their dedication and continuous support.
