Justin Emord is a Los Angeles native with a keen eye for capturing the wonders of landscapes and nature. Paying homage to photography great Ansel Adams, his images have a way of giving a glimpse into the beauty of the natural world, lending the awe for every viewer to enjoy. His passion for photography began on a trip to Japan in 2018, skyrocketing during the Covid-19 pandemic when quarantine left little to be enjoyed away from home aside from nature. From there, he progressed into sprawling landscapes captured beneath the night sky, with dazzling displays of the milky way and the heavens.
