Born on the shores of the coastal Pacific, Justin is a Canadian-American photographer who finds magic in the moments most people miss. He's searched for lost cattle on horseback in a snowstorm at midnight, touched the Alaskan ocean floor on a single breath, photographed Olympic athletes, and speaking to a crowd still terrifies him.

The Pacific Northwest runs through his veins and his lens. Epic light lives on the edges of storms rolling off the Pacific, and Justin chases that light with a graphic, motion-driven approach that puts story at the center.

Justin's work spans scales, and he's just as comfortable directing commercial productions with full crews as building nimble teams for wilderness stories. He's shot with motion units on broadcast sets, worked solo in remote locations, and adapted to whatever the story demands.

For over a decade his work has focused on adventure athletes, automotive culture, and the real-life stories of people doing rad things quietly. Whether it's ranchers raising ethical beef in eastern Oregon, scientists saving kelp on the coast, or surfers charging cold winter waves, these unsung moments feel more authentic and human.

Based in Portland, Justin's favorite days are chasing swells surfing, fishing and snowboarding with the family, and coaching his son's snowboard team. He's a go-with-the-flow type, quiet and contemplative—letting stories unfold naturally while staying ready for those perfect moments when light and motion align.
