Yulia Koval

Born in Baku and based in Athens, Yulia Koval is an independent film photographer and visual artist working primarily with 35mm analogue film. Drawn to photography’s ability to physically hold time through chemistry, grain, and light, she approaches image-making with equal parts precision and intuition – informed by her background in engineering and an ongoing interest in slowness as a counterweight to the speed of contemporary visual culture. 

Works by Yulia Koval are held in private collections across Greece, the United Kingdom, Germany, the United States, and other countries. Her photography has been featured in publications including Forbes, Cultured, Kathimerini, Athens Voice, Athinorama, LiFo, Andro, Glow, Posh Travel, and Art Flash.
