Brian James , Australia
"I completed this workshop Dec 2023 with my adult son. I can comfortably say it was one of the best experiences of my life. Meticulously organised, seamlessly executed, and thoroughly enjoyable. The tasks completed and the feedback sessions highlight Justin’s natural teaching prowess, and builds skills and confidence in the photographer. If you enjoy photography, want to upskill and be exposed to the mayhem of northern Vietnam, do it. Highly recommended. "
Sue Wilson, USA
"Justin is a professional, genuine and fun photographer. 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. I would recommend anyone interested in learning from a professional photographer to choose Justin. "
Danny Rivera, USA
"This was my second workshop with Justin, and it pushed me even further than the first. The experience in Vietnam felt deeper, and the way the workshop is structured makes you slow down and really think about why you’re making images.
The assignments are intentional, the feedback is direct, and you’re constantly challenged to improve. I left with stronger work, a clearer voice, and a better understanding of how I approach photography.
