About Justin Thomson

Originally from Durban, Justin moved to the bustling city of Cape Town in 2008. It was there where he first discovered his passion for photography which led him to complete his 3-year National Diploma at CPUT in 2012.

His journey into the creative world of photography began by assisting established local and international photographers who taught him the specialized ins and outs of shooting food, beverage, product and packaging. Long hours in studios grew his natural appreciation of the art and equipped him with unique skills which enabled him to set off on his own.

For the last couple of years, Justin has worked with a host of local retailers, local and international brands, ad agencies, creative collectives, small start-ups, marketing companies and wine farms for which he has created eye-catching photography and engaging short videos, as well as fulfilling technical and creative briefs. He has enjoyed delivering content for clients which serve a whole range of platforms such as print, websites, social media, billboard and magazine publications.

Justin has worked with some of the country’s top marketing managers, creative teams and food stylists to help deliver content which successfully engages with clients’ target market. It is his mission to treat every project as a masterpiece-in-the-making, no matter how big or small.
