Julie Martini

Julijana Jožefa Helena Martini, also known as Julie Martini, (9 January 1871 – 25 April 1943) was a Slovenian photographer. She worked as a photographer for more than fifty-five years. In the late 19th and start of the 20th century, her studio dominated the photographic scene in Celje. Her mother was the milliner Helena Zabukovšek from Celje, and her father was the first photographer in Celje, Josef Martini (1838–1895), from Rogatec, who was also engaged in painting. Although she also photographed outdoors, most of her work was produced in her studio, which was furnished with props and backdrops. Some of her works are preserved in the National and University Library of Slovenia, the , and the Museum of Recent History Celje. She died on 25 April 1943 in Celje. With more than eighty years of activity, her family thus represents the longest-standing tradition of photographers in Celje.
