Justin Picarri is an internationally award-winning and published fine art portrait photographer. He focuses on the art of the capture, creating as much in the frame as possible from small styled details to color and lighting. Justin’s love for practical effects are a process of constant exploration in different techniques, adding realism to each capture and leaving retouching for adding to and perfecting what already exists in the image. He loves being creatively pushed and is in constant search of new ideas. In addition to being an ambassador for Rosco Labs, Justin’s love of using colors goes back to his starts in professional photography, using tones and hue to convey moods to add to the purpose of each shot as a main tone or detail. Art history is always one of Justin’s loves and inspirations. In his free time when he’s not making art, he’s most likely drinking coffee and thinking about art.
