Justine-Louise photography

My friend Justine-Louise is a very talented photographer based in Essex and has been working professionally since 2010, photographing some of her favourite artists and making some amazing friends through her passion.

Justine has worked on all types of photography from alternative fashion and live music too weddings and portraits. I have Justine here to talk to us more about what started her passion for photography and what other loves she has. http://www.justine-louise.co.uk/




When did you realise you had a passion for photography?
I have always loved taking photos, even as a kid with a small instant camera. I started to become seriously interested in photography when I was 13 and started attending gigs. I would never go without a camera, and I would literally queue for hours outside the venue so I could be right at the front to take photos of all my favourite bands!

What is it that attracts you to the art?
I love how you can really push boundaries with it. I really enjoy experimenting with lighting, colour, textures and creating something out of almost nothing. I like how I can see my idea come to life and develop over time.




Is there a certain part to photography you enjoy the most?
To be honest I really like it all! I started out doing music photography and eventually moved into photographing models, and I tend to dabble in most areas as I like to keep my work fresh, and keep myself inspired.


How has your journey been in the profession since 2010?
It has been great, I have met and worked with some amazing people. At the start I had the awesome opportunity of assisting one of my favourite photographers. It has been great to see how my work has progressed since then. I have grown a lot more confident and I'm not afraid to try new things.



Has there been a stand out point that you are most proud of within your photography career?
I would say 2014 as whole stood out to me, as this was a year where I discovered new areas, worked with new people, and probably got published the most :) 
Recently Justine has been published in; Gorgeous Freaks, Sour magazine, Twisted Edge magazine, Freque magazine and Elite magazine.



What is it that you enjoy doing in your spare time?
In my spare time I can be found doing other creative things, such as drawing, making jewellery or creating props for shoots. When I am having some downtime though I can be found on my PlayStation either playing video games, or watching Netflix. I also love reading fiction and graphic novels.




What are looking to get out of 2015?
I am looking to produce more high end fashion images, and also creative beauty work. It would be great to also do more weddings as well as work with more families. I would also like to delve further into the cosplay scene.
