Fresh from the entry pool, Justin Skinner is interested in unconventionally portraying the problems of the inner city. Shying away from traditional photojournalism, Justin wants to milk photography as a medium for all is has to offer. Using dramatic lighting with what he calls "intense scenes," he aims to draw the viewer's attention in with lusciously lit and superbly executed images.
I was sent to a mentor at the age of ten being labeled a delinquent. I wanted nothing to do with the man, until he brought up the topic of girls. He had my interest. He told me that if I started working hard at that moment, that someday I could be a Playboy photographer. He didn't need to say anything else. Eleven years later here I am.
Justin's goals have changed, but he remains just as dedicated as he was on the birthday of his ambition. Good luck in all endeavors Justin, whatever they may be!

Justin! With your charms, you don't need a camera to get girls...
Justin,
This photograph is powerful. I think that your formalist lighting and compositional techniques give the photo a strong presence of being "in the now". Keep on shooting!
