More about Justin M....
What do you love about your job?
The best part about being a photographer is doing something I love. I'm totally passionate about being behind the lens, and whether I'm photographing people, spaces, objects, or even landscapes, I love to meet the creative challenge and bring my subject to life through the lens.
What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?
I used to photograph boudoir portraits for women, which is a style that is focused on personal empowerment and feeling good. The entire process is about them and making them feel special, and it's the kind of portrait session where I had the chance to really let loose creatively and have a fun and joyful time with my client.
I've photographed families, weddings, business and personal portraits, real estate, and even products. At the end of the day, every session needs a different kind of attention, because every client is different. It's all about doing a great job and bringing a high level of attention and detail.
Awards, honors, and recognitions received
I've received a bronze grading from the Portrait Masters organization, 1st place awards for creative photography at the Oregon State fair, and my work has been featured in the Oregonian for Portland Street of Dreams photography work.
A fun fact about this photographer
I'm a consummate geek that loves science fiction, fantasy, and all things fun. I even have a growing collection of Funko Pops that expresses my broad interest in pop culture.
