Justin Jin (born 1974, Hong Kong) is an internationally renowned photographer commissioned by the world’s leading publications and organisations to photograph themes in Europe, China and Russian-speaking countries.
Since picking up a notepad and a camera 15 years ago, Justin has become a thoughtful storyteller, using reportage image and text to explore international issues. While his scope is wide, his photographs are intimate, real and powerful.
Before embarking on an independent career, Justin worked for Reuters as a correspondent in Beijing and chief representative of its bureau in Shenzhen, China.
He is the recipient of a Magnum Foundation award, the Canon Prize and a World Press Photo Masterclass scholarship, among other prizes. A special edition of his work was exhibited and collected by the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam.
Justin graduated from Cambridge University in Philosophy and Political Sciences. He speaks native English, Mandarin and Cantonese, good Russian and Dutch, and some French.
He lives with his wife and three children in Brussels and travels extensively abroad for work.
