Julie Michelet is a French visual artist whose work combines photography, staging, and material processes.

She studied at the Fine Art School of Reims and developed her approach to photography through her work across fashion, advertising, and artist portraiture.

Her images draw on cinematic and pictorial references, where each photograph is conceived as a constructed scene.

At the core of her work lies an exploration of identity. Through staged portraits and self-portraiture, she creates figures that blur the line between character and self, drawing from both personal and collective imaginaries.

Her practice incorporates hands-on processes. Painted backdrops, built sets, and cyanotype techniques introduce a physical dimension to the image, where the act of making becomes as important as the image itself.

Her work approaches identity as something fluid, shaped and altered through processes of construction and transformation.
