Hi there. My name is Justin.

I’m a photographer based in Utah, and work all over the U.S. for editorial, advertising, corporate, and film clients. I’ve been doing this for over 25 years, and what I love most is making honest, compelling images that help clients tell their story.

My work includes:

  • Portraits and headshots for brands and publications

  • Advertising and lifestyle campaigns

  • Production stills and behind-the-scenes photography for film and TV

  • Corporate shoots with a documentary feel

If you need a photographer with years of experience, a long list of happy clients, someone who’s real easy to work with and is an expert in helping people comfortable in front of a camera—I’d love to hear what you’re working on.
