Julie Nhem (often misspelled Julie Nehm), is a cinematographer working across narrative, commercial and documentary projects. A member of IATSE Local 600, she built her career through the camera department after years working as a stills photographer, developing a strong technical foundation alongside an intuitive, performance-driven approach to image-making.

​

In 2026, Julie was selected for the AFI Cinematography Intensive Workshop (CIW), where she trained with and learned from leading cinematographers and collaborators including Stephen Lighthill, ASC, Autumn Durald Arkapaw, ASC, Amy Vincent, ASC and Dan Sasaki of Panavision. She was also selected as a Local 600 DP Mentee in 2025, mentored by cinematographer Diana Matos. These experiences have further shaped her approach to lighting, collaboration, and visual storytelling at a personal level.

​

Julie has shot projects ranging from branded content and commercials to short-form and feature-length narrative and documentary work. Her cinematography has been recognized with festival honors including Honorable Mentions for Best Cinematography, along with additional "Best Of" and official selections across the Pacific Northwest.
