JUSTINE DESMOND

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

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

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

    “I have worked with Justine regularly over the past two years and she is always a pleasure to work with. The shoots generally take place in busy hospital settings, which can often be a stressful and difficult environment to work in, as consideration needs to be given to patients and staff. 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.”
