Nadia Lee Cohen X Martin Parr

Nadia Lee Cohen’s new series, shot by Martin Parr, introduces Julie Bullard—a fictional character loosely inspired by Cohen’s childhood babysitter. Known for transforming herself into surreal personas, Cohen builds on her past work by creating a stylised narrative around Julie. While based on a real person, this isn’t a biography—it’s a character with her own story and strange charm.
