What if seeing yourself through another lens could completely transform your self-perception? TEDx speaker and professional photographer Julie Ulstrup takes us on a journey exploring how the images we hold of ourselves shape our Relationships, career paths, and sense of worth. Julie reveals how photography became her vehicle for helping people literally see themselves in new light. “Nearly 90% of everything that our brain processes in any given moment is visual,” she explains, highlighting why a single photograph can trigger profound shifts in self-awareness. From Cancer patients rediscovering their vitality during treatment to entrepreneurs stepping into new identities, Julie's work demonstrates the power of visual representation to change our internal narratives.
