Julian Lennon, Musician and Photographer

Today, my guest is Julian Lennon, a Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter, photographer, documentarian, philanthropist and New York Times best-selling author.

His fine art photography began in 2010 with his debut exhibit, “Timeless,” at the Morrison Hotel Gallery in New York City.

Since then, Julian has exhibited works across the U.S. and in several countries worldwide including Belgium, Brazil, England, France, Germany, Greece, Holland, Italy, Japan, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates. His upcoming Exhibit is Whispers – A Julian Lennon Retrospective with Le Stanze della Fotografia, a joint initiative by Marsilio Arte and Fondazione Giorgio Cini.

In 2020, he became the inaugural photographer featured in the prestigious Aston Martin Residences in Miami. In 2021, he partnered with Portia De Rossi’s General Public Art to bring a collection of his photography to Restoration Hardware. Julian’s first-ever coffee table photography book titled Life’s Fragile Moments is a compilation of visually striking images that span over two decades of Julian’s unique life, career, adventures, and philanthropic efforts.

A noted philanthropist, Julian founded the non-profit The White Feather Foundation in 2007 to help preserve Indigenous Cultures. Since then, the organization has expanded to help projects worldwide in education, health, clean water and the environment.

In 2015, in honor of his late mother, he launched The Cynthia Lennon Scholarship for Girls. Since its inception, it has awarded 55 scholarships to underprivileged girls across Africa, the U.K. and the U.S. In 2020, Julian was named a Peace Laureate by UNESCO.
