JUSTINE DESMOND

I'm Justine Desmond, a photographer based in Brighton & Hove.

I work with corporate organisations, government bodies, growing businesses and individual founders — headshots, team photography, events and brand work, all done properly.

Every project includes a written proposal, a private online gallery and images you can download and use from day one.

However Justine is adept at making the models feel at ease and works sensitively to ensure that that photos reflect the situation and brief I have given. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend working with Justine.”
