Julia Gorton started her career as the photographer, creative director + publisher of the No Wave fanzine, Beat It!, which offered an insiders view of the downtown New York music scene from 1976-1980.
Her high contrast photos combined with graphic patterns, DIY lettering and random collage elements captured a fleeting time with unique style which she continues to explore through her photo collages, t-shits and zines. Gorton's photos of musicians have been seen in NY Rocker, No Magazine, The New York Times, Vice/Garage, Dazed, I-D and on record jackets for independent labels including Ork Records, Lust/Unlust and Ze Records.
Her photography was prominently featured in No-Wave: Post Punk. Underground. New York. 1976-1980 (2008) by Thurston Moore and Byron Coley, Untypical Girls (2017) by Sam Knee, and Who Shot Rock and Roll: A Photographic History, 1955-Present (2009) by Gail Buckland. Nowhere New York: Dark, Insulting and Unmelodic (2022) is her first photobook.
Her work has been seen at Kata Gallery in Tokyo, Doomed Gallery in London, The International Center of Photography, The Museum of the City of New York, The Brooklyn Museum, MOMA, Museum Of Arts + Design, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
