In this week's podcast, we are joined by Julie Abreu; an inspiring photographer who passionately stands against the ideals of perfection portrayed through social media.

We discuss how the posed photography used on these platforms creates a misconception of perfection, and how this increases pressure for women to be 'perfect' and pretty.

Julie shares with us her passion of Documentary Photography for families; where she chooses to capture the raw and natural elements of parenthood, specifically photographing authentic experiences of parents, to better empower this realness in women.

Julie hosts photography workshops in the Dandenong Ranges of Melbourne;  where mothers bring their children and she teaches them how to capture these candid moments for themselves.
