about mad media
Hello! Thank you so much for visiting my website. My name is Julie Nixon and I am a photographer, writer, editor and artist.
My business, Mad Media Studios, provides photography, writing and editing services and is based on the West Coast of Canada, in the sleepy seaside city of Victoria, BC. I am a trained professional photographer specializing in fine art, portraiture, editorial and wedding photography. I also very much enjoy and accept work in stock, architecture, landscape/nature, travel and event photography.
For more information on the products, services and competitive rates offered by Mad Media, please visit the services page.
Education & Experience
I graduated in May 1999 from the University of Victoria with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and Professional Writing. I am the former managing editor of two regional boating magazines, as well as Victoria’s urban living magazine, Boulevard. Currently, I write for Boulevard on a regular basis, and pen a column called “The Green House”. Homes, environment, art, design, people and food are my areas of interest.
Since successfully completing the Professional Photography diploma program at the Western Academy of Photography (WAP) in June 2006, I have been working on building my business and establishing clients within the community. I have worked on a variety of projects, including assignments for Boulevard, The Torch (UVic’s alumni magazine), and In-Flight Review. Other clients include the City of Victoria, Leslee Farrell of Newport Realty, and the Organic Islands Festival.
