👋 ABOUT:
Hey, I'm Justin. I'm a portrait & dog photographer based in Vancouver, Canada.

I'm fighting for a more dog-friendly world by sharing stories that inspire change, helping shelter dogs find homes, and advocating for policies that welcome dogs into our communities. Together with +1 million followers, we're proving that when society embraces dogs, everyone benefits.

All of these interactions are 100% unscripted, unplanned and real.

I've seen a LOT of questions asking who that girl is that's been translating in my Japan series videos...

So here she is!

This is Rina, a Japanese photographer (and friend of mine) who is based out of Osaka.

Rina reached out via DM when she saw that David and I were visiting Japan. She offered to help show us around and help us translate, so we ended up linking up with her in Osaka.

But Rina and I quickly became good friends, so she ended up joining us for a few days in Kyoto as well.

Rina has taught Japanese/English for a number of years, so her translation skills came in super handy throughout this trip. I couldn't have got some of these shots without her help... so thank you Rina! 🙏

Go check out her photography work here (and tell her I sent you!):

👇 How I make my photos *pop*

This question comes up a LOT, so I thought I'd address it.

Most people think my photos look this way because I have a fancy camera. But that isn’t the case! 🚫

I actually use a bunch of different cameras, ranging from a $1000 point and shoot, to a full professional Sony camera. Most people can't tell the difference, because it's less about the camera, and more about the editing.

Every photo I take is edited with one tool - Lightroom. It’s a free app on your phone and it lets you brighten, fix colors, add depth, sharpen details, the whole deal.

The photos that typically come straight out of my cameras look like the example on the left. Flat, a little dull, nothing special.

But over the years I created my own Lightroom presets specifically for pets. 🐾

These presets instantly bring the photo to life - including richer colors, better fur, and cleaner shadows. I use these on every photo I took (including photos I take with my phone).

This is the magic behind all of my photos 🪄 and they're made to be easy to use for beginners. They also come with a 30-min tutorial that teaches you exactly how to use them, step-by-step.

Y'all remember Halston? I photographed him and his little brother Grand Central Station in NYC a few videos back.

Well... the rescue organization that raised him got in touch and sent me some photos of him as a puppy.

And they are EVERYTHING 🥰
