ABOUT ME

I’m Justin — an editorial and commercial photographer who’s been based in Vietnam for almost 20 years. In that time, I’ve covered over 100 diverse assignments for The New York Times and shot global ad campaigns all over Southeast Asia.

I’m calm and confident whether leading large-scale commercial productions or navigating complicated editorial assignments. Clients trust me to guide complex shoots with ease, balancing logistics and creativity to deliver visuals that work seamlessly and tell stories with impact.

When I’m not working, I’m usually with my wife and our three rescue dogs, or out on my bike. I’ve completed multiple IronMan races… but I definitely don’t look the part.

I always make time for personal projects, especially around wildlife conservation. One of my proudest moments was having my story on the last two northern white rhinos featured in Leica’s global Witness Campaign. I’m also an ambassador for Helping Rhinos, because animals have always had my heart.

I love working with natural light, finding real stories in every project, and connecting with people along the way. I’m calm under pressure, easy to work with, and genuinely love what I do.
