When photographer Justin Black first picked up a camera, he was drawn not just to the art of image-making but to the power of photography as a tool for exploration, conservation, and connection. Over the years, that passion has evolved into a remarkable career that bridges fine art, environmental advocacy, and education. As a co-founder of Visionary Wild and former executive director of the International League of Conservation Photographers, Justin has helped shape how we think about the relationship between photography and the natural world.
In our conversation, we explore Justin’s journey from working alongside legendary photographer Galen Rowell to leading transformative workshops in some of the world’s most extraordinary landscapes. Through his work, Justin invites others not just to see more clearly—but to care more deeply.
