BIO

Julia Maixer is an award-winning cinematographer based in Los Angeles, originally from Barcelona, Spain. She studied Film Production at ESCAC, specializing in cinematography, before moving to the U.S. to complete her MFA at the American Film Institute.  Raised in a family predominantly formed by women, she became attuned to the unspoken inner worlds that women possess, naturally drawing her to stories exploring those psychologies. Inspired by her fascination with intimacy, human relationships, and the environments that shape our stories, this perspective informs the highly emotional lens Julia brings to all of her work, taking in the reflections and layers of beauty that live in characters and places, with the ultimate goal of reawakening the audience’s capacity to feel. ​​​​​​​ Julia's work has been recognized internationally. She received Best Cinematography at the Toronto International Women Film Festival, and earned AFI’s pre-selection for both the ASC Heritage Awards and EnergaCAMERIMAGE. In addition to her motion picture work, Julia has an extensive background in still photography, specializing in portraiture, beauty, and fashion, and has received awards from internationally acclaimed competitions such as the International Photography Awards (IPA), MIFA, MonoVisions, and the Monochrome Awards.
