About Photo Artfolio
Our mission is to help photographers of all levels navigate the challenges I faced when starting out, offering curated exhibits, grant programs, and invaluable resources to showcase your talent, passion, and projects to a broader audience.
A highlight of our platform is the "Photographers to Watch" section, a dedicated space that spotlights rising talents whose work resonates with us for its creativity, innovation, fresh perspective, compelling aesthetic, or powerful storytelling. We believe in the power of photography to inspire and transform, and this section is our way of celebrating the next generation of photographic visionaries.
You can learn more about me and see my work at juliacumes.com and on instagram @juliacumes.
Thank you for being a part of our community. I look forward to witnessing your photographic journey unfold.

Welcome to Photo Artfolio, a dynamic online gallery and resource center that supports both emerging and established photographers. I’m Julia Cumes, the founder of this platform, working in collaboration with a talented group of photographers.
My own journey has taken me from photographing global issues and cultural stories abroad to creating long-term narrative projects at home. Along the way, I experienced the transformative power of mentorship and community support. Those early influences shaped not only my career but also the vision behind Photo Artfolio. The guidance, support, and insights I received were instrumental in shaping my skills and artistic vision. It is with this understanding of the value of mentorship and a strong photography community that the idea of Photo Artfolio was born.
