{"julia":{"id":"julia","name":"Fractals Julia Filter","desc":"The Julia Fractal was created to make prisming work masterfully with whatever you're shooting. This filter manages difficult lighting and compsure situations masterfully well; allowing you to surround any subject with an artistic prismatic flare. The Julia Filter is also remarkably easy to use, and it works masterfully from short focal lengths (~30mm), to extremely long ones, (~135mm). The Julia Filter was the first Fractal Filter which was incepted and produced as far back as 2014. It has received several design overhauls to bring you the filter which produces beautiful fractalized images which can be found all over the web.","metadescription":"This is a metadescription","price":49,"images":[{"path":"/static/products/classic","alt":"Fractals Product 1","id":"julia","isPng":true,"srcSet":[768,1440]}],"extendedDesc":{"title":"What are Fractals?","body":"\n <p>Fractals will forever change the way you shoot photos and videos.

This picture has the coolest imagery going on. In front of perhaps the ugliest background, I took this photo with the reflection at the perfect level. Right at the top of my subjects head is the beginning of the reflection of the trees all around us. There is also a perfectly placed ray of sunshine gleaming down to the perfect spot on his forehead. It creates powerful imagery and turns an ugly background into the perfect background of a photo with this much complexity.

Favorite subject

Light.

Camera setup

Anything that's wide.

Favorite lens

Nikon 50mm f/1.8 STM

Favorite inspirations

Ryan Brenizer does some great stuff. I also like oldschool favorites like Franz Scholtand.

Favorite filters

I like stacking ND filters with oscillating filters.

Next purchase

I'd like to buy an Fulifilm Camera Remote app so I can play around with that and see what kind of images are possible.
