Justin French
Justin French (b.1988) is a self taught photographic artist and director. French’s diverse work is a personal reflection of historical resonance and world building. Consistently exploring the human condition, proprietary mythos, and classical portraiture. While visually arresting, his emotive work seeks to examine philosophical polity across a range of subject matter. Beginning in Red Hook Labs (2017) and having contributed work to the Historic Royal Palaces he has shown in group exhibitions at Saatchi Gallery, Rencontres d’Arles, Fotografiska, Musée de Beaux-Arts, and clients include The New York Times, Vogue (US/UK), The Sunday Times, Dazed, Acne Paper, Rolling Stone Magazine, Balmain, Area NYC & Khaite.
