MENTORSHIP PACKAGE
"Justin's techniques and guidance for photographers is nothing short of excellent. Advice from a full time working photographer and published photo journalist is invaluable. The fact that he makes himself available to hobbyists and amateurs says more about his character than his mentoring descriptions. The sessions were well structured, honest, and actionable. High impact and well priced.

His critique and suggestions for my photos were very insightful. He did not just tell me when he liked a photo but went on to encourage me as to how it could be even better. Justin was truly interested in my photo experience and used that to determine my project for the workshop as well as encouraging me to try future photography endeavors.

1 DAY PRIVATE STREET PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP.
HANOI, VIETNAM
I was lucky enough to spend a day with Justin for a 1:1 workshop in Hanoi a few week ago to learn how to step up my image making. Justin challenged me in a number of ways and helped me break through some limitations I had placed on myself. He also made sure the handle the logistics so that I didn't worry about how the day would unfold. And also, he's a great guy and fun to hang with. I'd recommend Justin if you are wanting to take your image making to another level in any way. Thanks, Justin!
