let’s get something straight! 😀

I’m not interested in fluffy stories of wide-eyed people climbing mountains for no apparent reason!  I’m firmly focused on nature, people and the environment and  projects that communicate, in clever ways, a deeper understanding of the complex issues of the wider world. If you have a project that falls into this remit, read on… or get in touch 

Ultimately I feel most at home out in the field, under pressure, getting the facts, finding the story and communicating it either direct to camera or from behind it…

Nick Coombe: Creative Director 3DNA Media

I had the pleasure of collaborating with Justin over a number of years while I was Creative Director at 3DNA. Justin is extraordinarily creative, perceptive and driven, with an infectious enthusiasm that filters into everything he does, providing inspiration and motivation for others.

Justin has a visionary’s talent for conceiving the full scope and impact of a project while maintaining a strong commitment to the details. Justin is also a generous and inclusive collaborator who is able to integrate new ideas and channel them toward the greater vision and goals of a project. Justin has an uncanny knack for tapping into the zeitgeist and adapting to changing trends and technologies; spotting nascent opportunities as or even before they emerge. Many of the ideas Justin developed as new concepts during our collaboration have been borne out over the years that followed, proving Justin to be remarkably prescient. Overall, Justin is a uniquely inspiring, energizing and creative guy to work with, and I recommend him without hesitation.
