ABOUT Justin
I've always been drawn to all things creative, but didn't pick up a camera until my senior year in high school to document a trip my friends and I were taking to San Francisco. I had no idea how to correctly work my camera, but instantly fell in love with the concept of capturing moments in an artistic way. What started out as a passion for photography quickly turned into a passion for people and the love they share.

They're the fleeting expressions, movement, embraces and unexpected moments in between.
My approach balances those honest moments with thoughtful editorial portraiture, creating a collection that feels elevated, effortless and entirely your own.
