Bryce Julien is a Toronto-based artist, a facilitator at The Image Centre at Toronto Metropolitan University, and a graduate of the School of Image Arts, Photography Studies. Central to his practice is the positioning of photographic processes as tools for critical thinking and intrapersonal development. Operating in analog and alternative mediums, his work focuses on exploring the reflexive potentials latent in photographic methods and materials. By situating the camera as a collaborative agent, he seeks to understand the negotiation of experiencing with photography.
