After photographing weddings full time for about 7 years with Jim I now focus on sports, mainly mountain biking for Flow Mountain Bike.

He is an avid Fujifilm X-series shooter as well an experienced reviewer of all things photography.  You can find him wandering the city of Melbourne with a camera in hand, street photography being his genre of choice.   His love for Fujifilm helps offset the traditional Canon vs Nikon arguments of Justin and Jim.

I'm Justin, the owner of Lucky Straps as well as a professional photographer/videographer. After photographing weddings full time for about 7 years with Jim I now focus on sports, mainly mountain biking for Flow Mountain Bike. I have shot with Canon, then Nikon and now back to Canon with a full Mirrorless RF mount system.
