| Info | Justin was born in Portishead in 1962 and his family moved to Bishopston in Bristol in 1967.
Education
He attended St Bonaventures Primary and St Bedes RC Comp in Lawrence Weston before moving on to Filton College and Derby Lonsdale College where he studied on a three-year degree course in Photography.
He also has a PGCE Design and Technology and an as yet incomplete Msc in Ecology, which was stalled due to employment with Sustrans and the opening of the National Cycle Network.
Employment
After his degree Justin worked as a conservation worker in Leigh woods for a year then freelance photographic work and teaching ending up as head of the photography department for 5 years at South Bristol College in Hartcliffe.
When the College merged to form the City of Bristol College, left the UK with his wife to be Christina to manage a tented safari camp in the Maasai Mara in Kenya and assisted with the programme Big Cat Diary.
On his return he began an MSc in Ecology at the university of the West of England, only to curtail this after the position arose with the Engineering charity Sustrans in coordinating the opening of the National Cycle Network. A long-term cyclist and one of the early members of the cycle pressure group Cyclebag, Justin is a keen city cyclist to this day.
In 2001 Justin was invited over to the US to do a lecture tour of his photographic work. This culminated in an exhibition of his photographs at the SOHO gallery in New York in 2002.
In August 2003 he was commissioned by the Northern Territory Open Education College to teach pinhole photography to indigenous Australians in the Northern Territory.
He now lives in Bristol with his wife and son. He teaches technology part time at Speedwell Technology College, a challenging inner city Secondary school and lectures in photography to various universities throughout the UK.
A book of his images will be published later in the year.
