Justin J Lopez began photography in October of 2008. In learning his craft Justin used his knowledge of business and his passion for the arts to captured images that market his gifting in the best way. In an industry where women are often the main event of a photo and men subsequently the props. He chose to do a role reversal and capture men as more then just a prop and elevate them to the forefront of an image. By fine tuning his approach to photography he continued to go against the grain, given his vision is truly unorthodox to the industry norm. Teaming up with Major Model Management (Men’s Division) and other boutique agencies. Justin’s vision was surely becoming an inevitable reality. At 24 yrs of age his momentum was rapidly increasing and still is today. By combining great imagery and well thought out color treatments. His work circled the globe in 4 months . Not to long after Justin was sought out by the worlds largest artistic collective - The Keystone Design Union (The KDU). Where he found his place among the elite in his field and many others in related fields. By utilizing his knowledge of Photoshop and continually expanding his knowledge of photography. He became a member, the Digital Imager, photographer, and inevidbly the Assistant Art Director for The Keystone Design Union (The KDU). Under the tutelage and mentoring by the Founder of the KDU - David Gensler.
