Justin Lewis is an artist. He works with light, color and moments to document the extreme limits of nature and life. He has traveled the globe photographing for national magazines, ad agencies, and catalogs. His assignments have taken him to the remote corners of the Earth. Equally confident under 160 feet of water or directing a large scale advertising photo-shoot, Justin has an instinctual ability to remain centered and creative. Every image reflects his deep connection with nature, in all of its moods. With the world in tumultuous times, Justin is committed to the use of photography to document the way the world is, to inspire individuals, and to make changes for the better. When he is not on assignment, look for Justin in the water, on a mountain top, or surrounded by people he loves.
My role as still photographer on board the Southern Wind will include documenting in detail the interactions between the doctors and their patients. I hope is to connect with the people I photograph in order to tell the story of their lives, their aspirations, and how they came to need medical attention. Along with photo documentation, I will keep a running web log and update both the Floating Doctors web site as well as my own web sites with images.
-Justin
