Julie Pinington Wright

‘The rich have their own photographers. I photograph the forgotten ones” – Milton Rogovin

Internationally published photographer Julie Pinington Wright practices as a concerned photographer. Her images reveal the social and political aspects of the subject which portray a message to the viewer, imploring them to take action. The photographs document a greater sincerity, whilst exposing the reality of injustice, most of which is located within the arena of human struggle and hardship, ultimately, using photography to challenge attitudes and provide a platform for change within the world - not merely record its existence. 

Wright is a South African native but currently resides in the North West of England with her family.  

Earning a first class Bachelor of Arts degree in photography from Lancaster University in 2019. Wright completed a Masters degree with the University of Bolton in 2020, receiving an academic excellence scholarship. Furthering her education, Wright completed a PGCE (M) at the University of Bolton in 2021.  

Working currently as a full time lecturer at a specialist FE College in Lancaster and mentoring HE students at the University of Bolton.

Member of the Royal Photographic Society, Woman in Photography and Documentary. Red Eye Photography Network.
