Justin Jew Justin Jew is a 16 year old sophomore attending Manzano High School in Albuquerque, NM. Justin began his love of photography only a few years ago, at the age of 13. He grabbed a camera to capture the most beautiful scenes of a snow storm near his home. Justin's favorite form of photography is landscape and loves the outdoors, hiking and nature. He is blessed to have tremendous influences in his life. His father, Kim Jew has been a successful photographer for 33 years and has encouraged his son to pursue all aspects of study and life. This can be seen in Justin's love of sports and his desire to pursue medicine or the world of business, but he knows for sure that he will always follow his passion for photography. At the age of 16, Justin has been hired to professionally photograph architecture for Ethos Custom Homes, a home building company in the East Mountains of Albuquerque. There is no doubt that Justin Jew will be successful in any career he chooses as he continues to press the shutter on his camera! |
