Black And White Life In Philippines By Justin James Wright

In 2010, Justin became a full-time photographer in order to focus on his passion of fine art photography. He has been dedicating much of his time to capture how people live their everyday lives in the face of significant socio-economic challenges. Through this work, his intention is to help find a way to improve the lives of these people and one of the mechanisms he has developed to do this is to raise awareness and supportive interest. For example, he has recently helped to improve educational facilities in one of the communities he has documented and has achieved this through the donation of educational materials and stationary for the multitude of children who attend the school there.
Justin has successfully exhibited various works at an art exhibition organized through a partner of The British Council. This was a charity event to benefit the less fortunate children of Tondo, Manila. By invitation from Getty Images, Justin has accepted the position of "an Official Getty Contributor". Justin has also submitted work (by invitation) to a prestigious international project to compile a book showing images of “typical life” for the less fortunate communities in various developing Countries. This book will be published and distributed worldwide.
