Career

Mayorova began practicing photography during her student years.

In March 2021, Mayorova collaborated with Apple for its "Women’s History month" campaign. For this project Apple invited female photographers to shoot on iPhone 12 for International Women's Day. The idea was to show how gender influences photography.[12][13]

Mayorova's project mainly consisted of still life photos in a color scheme of gender-based colors – pink and blue.[7][14][15]

In April 2021, the Multimedia Art Museum hosted the exhibition "Julia Mayorova. Silent Mode". Olga Sviblova became the curator of this event, which was part of the XII International Photobienniale "Fashion and Style in Photography — 2021".[2][6][16]

“Silent Mode" was a collection of selected works by Julia Mayorova, which included portraits of Nicole Kidman, Mujuice, Monetochka, Takashi Murakami, Jennifer Lopez, Cindy Crawford, Karlie Kloss and others.[17][18] The exhibition focused on the characters and revealed a moment of inner silence.
