About Me

Hello, I am Justin Jaideep Xavier an Automotive Engineer working for an Automotive OEM with a Masters in Engineering and Manufacturing from Bangalore, India.

I am based out of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Always loved clicking pictures back in the days of Film Cameras and Clumsy 1 Megapixel Digi Cameras.

When I started.. I always wanted to photograph wild life and birds and buildings and tanks and what not, but in these recent years I have come to realize that photographing people is my ultimate high.

I love clicking picture of real people.. ordinary people.. every day people… I believe that every single person is a  Celebrity in his or her own right.! And I love to bring out that Celebrity in every person I photograph.

I love showing people how beautiful they are..
