Julian Ferreira: My life through the lens
The Camera Store at cSPACE Marda Loop
Julian Ferreira, known in the photographic community for being a passionate advocate of the philosophy “always have a camera with you.” Guided by this belief, he continually observes and photographs the world around him, creating images as he moves through his Southern Alberta prairie home. From quiet, expansive landscapes to subtle moments of light and form, his work is shaped by an ongoing dialogue between place, presence, and perception.
Working primarily as a fine art black-and-white photographer and co-owner of The Camera Store, Ferreira’s exhibition presents a selection of his most recent work. These photographs offer viewers an intimate glimpse into the way he sees, thoughtful, deliberate, and deeply connected to the land he calls home, inviting them to slow down and engage with the subtle beauty found in everyday surroundings.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge that the Exposure Photography Festival is situated on land adjacent to where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. The traditional Blackfoot name of this place is “Moh’kins’tsis”, which we now call the City of Calgary. This is the traditional Treaty 7 territory of the Blackfoot confederacy: Siksika, Kainai, Piikani as well as the Îyâxe Nakoda and Tsuut’ina nations. It is home to the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3 within the historical Northwest Métis homeland. We honour and acknowledge all Nations, who live, work and play in Moh’kins’tsis, help steward this land, and honour and celebrate this territory.
