PROFILE:
Born in Hong Kong, Justin Chan was High School and University educated in Canada. He worked briefly as a foreign exchange broker in London and Asia, before becoming a photographer working in Tokyo, Paris, London and Shanghai. He also lectures at the CITY UNIVERSITY in Hong Kong occasionally.
THE WORK:
Justin comes from an expansive and technical history of working between many photographic genres worldwide. This experience has led him to master capturing the mundane as something of exception, giving him years of experience on how to work within the constraints of any commercial brief. Justins work pertains to a strong and fluent sense of composition capturing the nuances of detail in mood, colour and performance.
