ICONIC IMAGES OF THE AMERICAN WEST AND BEYOND

"A quick ski trip and a stint in the rodeo changed everything"

Jules Frazier is an award-winning fine art and advertising photographer whose work has been featured in national magazines, ad campaigns, private collections, galleries and exhibitions. Born and raised in Pacific Northwest, Jules graduated with a degree in photography from the Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara.  Upon graduation her plan was to move to Manhattan to pursue a career as a fashion photographer.  She never made it to New York.  “Three weeks after selling my car and putting a deposit down on a NY apartment, a last-minute ski trip to Sun Valley changed everything,” says Frazier.  After the snows receded and, on a dare, Jules entered a Rodeo Queen contest and was ultimately crowned the 1985 Miss Hailey Idaho / Days of the Old West Rodeo Queen.  It was the first Rodeo she had ever attended.  Frazier’s rodeo queen days were filled with amusing and amazing moments and characters that she documented beautifully on film. It is this body of work that launched Jules’ reputation as a distinguished fine art photographer to collectors. 

She has won critical acclaim in both the fine arts and commercial spheres, with work reviewed on NPR’s “All Things Considered”, numerous regional exhibitions and private collections, and clients including, Wrangler, Cowboys & Indians Magazine, and Stetson.

“What started out as a photographic series in color on The American Rodeo Queen has broadened to several collections, my most collected ,  Faded Icons of The West. From cowgirls and cowboys to old neon signage and landscapes, the sepia-toned photographs are my interpretation of the code of the west and the people who live it.

I've had successful career as a lifestyle, advertising and fine art photographer. Now I bring to you my favorite collections of fine art prints from my lifetime of being behind the camera.

Original fine art photographs for your beautiful spaces!" Jules
