We were so delighted to discover Adobe’s latest foray into supporting the creative class with the introduction of The Adobe Creative Residency program. The main objective behind this amazing program is to foster creativity while empowering artists. With generous support from the team at Adobe, talented individuals are given the opportunity to spend a year focusing on a personal creative project, while sharing their experience and process with the creative community. Adobe Creative Residents receive access to the best creative tools and resources, along with guidance from notable advisors and a compensation package. In return, each resident proactively pursues a personal creative project, while sharing their process, insights and inspiration with the community along the way. The 2017 residents are comprised of a group of uniquely talented designers and photographers who are eager to share their creativity with others.

In support of this inspiring program from our friends at Adobe we’ll be featuring one resident from the 2017 class and their individual works each day starting today over the course of the next week. To kick things off, we’re excited to highlight the work of Berlin-based, German photographer Julia Nimke. Peek Julia’s ethereal photographs below of places and cultures throughout Europe inspired by folk tales.

Everyone has a dream project. So often, those are the ones we can never dedicate the time and resources to. That’s why we created the Adobe Creative Residency. The mission is simple: to support the creative community and cultivate a culture of creating and sharing.
