For well over a decade of extensively training and performing in New York City as a classical musician, Justino was slowly and autodidactically amassing additional skills and equipment to better streamline the completion of his audition requirements. Prescreening materials needed recording and mastering, various industry-defined headshots needed updating, and more-and-more competitions and job auditions were requiring reels and audio/video submissions. The need for “cutting costs” is in every New Yorker’s DNA and it was abundantly clear to Justino that a better investment would be to purchase baseline hardware and software to complete these requirements inhouse. These imperative needs would quickly take root and sprout obsessions. His undying passion for manipulating sound would almost immediately mirror his newfound curiosity for manipulating light. Gore to beatific, practical to dreamscape, professional to recreational, Justino sought out any opportunity or excuse to better hone his photography and videography skills. Not too long into the learning process, Justino would receive commissions from friends and friends-of-friends for his services in their audition material submissions, professional websites and profiles.

Today, Justino has updated the arsenal of his professional kits with top-of-the line bodies, lenses, and lighting for both his still photography, videography, and drone work. He can most frequently be found in the St. Louis, MO, NYC, and Chicago areas, but is not limited to these locations.

Justino has been honored to frequently work with world-class artists, international scientists and scientific publications, online influencers, foreign dignitaries, and renowned venues across the country. He is excited to travel and meet new people to capture their most precious and crucial life moments and hopes to meet and work with you soon!
