so who are you?
What’s up? I’m Justin!
I'm a wedding, portrait and commercial photographer based out of Cuyahoga Falls, OH with over 10 years of experience behind the lens. I’ve received multiple publications (Mens Health, Sour Magazine, Photographers Forum, The Daily Mail, Northeast Ohio Weddings Magazine, Today’s Bride, Akron Life Magazine),as well as awards and was recognized as a Top 10 North East Ohio Photographer as well as a Top 5 Event Photographer by Peerspace. I am also a member of the Professional Photographers Association, a national organization for Certified Professional Photographers and Master Photographers alike.
After graduating from Ohio University in 2017 with a degree in Commercial Photography, I began my career in wedding photography in greater Cleveland area. Since then, I have photographed dozens of engagements, hundreds of weddings, families, seniors, boudoir, pets, children, musicians, commercial pojects, and exotic cars.
In addition to photography, I also mentor and create YouTube content for photographers, host the Talking Pixels Podcast, and founded the largest community for creatives in North East Ohio, Cleveland Creates.

Cleveland Creates
I'm the founder and one of the hosts of Cleveland Creates: Connecting the Community Through Creativity. Cleveland Creates is Northeast Ohio's largest community of likeminded creatives set on building a more positive and engaged creative community through collaboration, networking, and education. Our goal is to invest back into our community members by providing them with unmatched value and empowering them to reach their goals.
COVID caused us to put Cleveland Creates on a hiatus, but stay tuned... We'll be back!

This Channel has been something I've wanted to do for a while now, and I've decided to get serious about it. From my channel, you can expect educational photography videos, behind the scenes videos, Clips from The Talking Pixels Podcast, entertainment videos based around my photography. Maybe I'll even throw in the occasional beer critique too, who knows!
