"Working with Justin was just a fantastic and memorable experience. We had such a blast during our shoot. He was patient and taught me how to properly breathe and release air to get a good amount of time underwater. Before I knew it, I was a pro and getting experimental and bold with trying new poses and outfits. Justin truly captured STUNNING shots. He has a keen artistic eye. I felt safe and comfortable every step of the way. Going to enjoy these photos forever and want to blow up a few of them for my home."

"I've worked with Justin on several occasions; he's been my safety diver on sets, he's been my dive instructor, I've been his shoot assistant, and we've collaborated on photo shoots numerous times. I can honestly attest to the fact that each time is more streamlined and facilitated compared to the last. He's open to input & ideas and as a photographer, is able to gage a model's comfort level underwater and adjust accordingly. He works fast, his edits are beautiful, and overall he's honestly one of the best underwater photographers I've ever seen."
