About
I’ve been based in Zurich for over 20 years shooting commercially across Switzerland and Europe.
My work is versatile — corporate portraits, advertising campaigns and interior photography
for companies like Novartis, Sika, GE and Takeda.
Two decades of working with everyone from CEOs to worldwide advertising campaigns has
taught me that experience matters. Knowing how to work with people and teams and creating
the right atmosphere on shoot day is as important as the creativity. That’s what keeps clients
coming back and motivates me to keep pushing.
Part of that versatility is found in my travel photography. From Burning Man, Antarctica, Greenland, or being close
to silverback gorillas in Rwanda — these types of experiences have shaped both me and my vision.
I’m available across Switzerland and Europe and always happy to talk through your requirements.

Advertising Photography
Working as part of a team to create campaigns, collaborating with art directors and clients, constructing the right environment for a successful shoot and then directing the models to capture the concepts is just a part of the workflow required to bring a successful campaign to market. From pre-production to post production, Justin works to deliver results that demand attention. Being a professional photographer in Switzerland, Justin is perfectly based to work throughout Europe.
Portrait Photography
The challenge of taking a life like professional portrait photograph lies in the rapport between the photographer and subject. Friendly, easy going and open, Justin has honed his skills in making his subjects feel comfortable in a sometimes uncomfortable environment. Working mostly with companies and magazines, Justin usually photographs within set parameters but with freedom to explore. He is creative and modern and loves the challenge.

Professional identity and branding is key to a successful collaboration.

Personal Projects
Any photographer will tell you that Personal Photography is paramount to broadening one’s creativeness. Over the years I have been working constantly and tirelessly on my own projects. It has taken me all over the world to China, Australia, Namibia, Greenland, Norway and India with many parts of the world still to explore. The more experience I gain, the more I want. I invite you to visit my Personal Projects page to share a few of my latest adventures.
Celebrity Photography
Justin works to create powerful personal images that capture the character and goals of his subjects. Collaborating with handpicked staff that includes stylists, hair and makeup artists, brings the best out of each subject. Justin works throughout the whole process of the photography shoot, from choosing locations, designing the lighting to editing the images. His distinct, clean and modern style helps to create a life like relaxed portrait .
Travel Photography
Travel Photography always seems like a dream job. The reality is that it is very challenging, demanding and requires a significant amount of experience. Justin has been photographing around the world for the past 20 years. He has created travel stories on racing dirt bikes through Mongolia, kayaking 1000km down the Yukon river, enduring dust storms at Burning Man, Stand Up Paddling through the icebergs of Greenland and operating from a makeshift photography studio/tent for 2 weeks at the Kumbh Mela in India. It sounds fun but the conditions can be physically tough, mentally draining and all the while requiring full concentration to return with the right travel photos.
Headshot Photography
Creating photographic business headshots is also a large part of Justin’s photography. He works mostly on location bringing his lighting, backgrounds and mobile studio to his clients. He creates customized business portraits and works together with the client to understand their styles and requirements.
Industrial Photography
Being totally mobile on location enables the products and industrial machinery to remain in their natural environment. This creates a more dynamic and engaging visual outcome to the photographic shoot. Justin works to align a company’s needs to a finished high-quality photo that represents their business in a fresh, modern and creative way. He is careful to understand the audience, purpose and brand sensibilities. There are many varied elements which encompass Industrial photography and with over 20 years’ experience, Justin has photographed across a wide range of companies and industries. With this experience he can help document your next project and bring your visuals to life.
Health and Pharmaceutical Photography
The importance of conveying a trustworthy, professional, innovative, visual impression in the healthcare industry is paramount to your branding. Your websites and marketing material create the first impression to your customers. Having great visuals that have been thoughtfully created and tailor made to fit the exact needs and aspirations of your company is important so as to differentiate your presentation from typical stock photography. Justin has been photographing in the healthcare industry for 15 years and has a wide experience in all facets of pharmaceutical photography.
