Justin Abernethy - Toronto Based Director and Photographer

The High Performing Student Podcast

Justin Abernethy is a Toronto-based director whose body of work balances the meridian between stills and motion. From the first moment he looked through a lens, Justin fell in love with the ability to create a narrative told through imagery within a single frame. After training in photography, he quickly found himself inspired by the world of motion, where he saw life existing in more than just moments.

With a naturalistic approach to dark surrealism and incredible attention to detail, Justin’s work pushes boundaries while being analytical and strategic. He finds inspiration in things he loves: music, art, and fashion. Whether it be a reference to the classic cinema or high-fashion elements, Justin leaves a piece of his personal mosaic behind in every project.

He has worked with artists like Ali Gatie, Anders, 12AM, Takis, Goody Grace, Tory Lanez, J-Soul, Baka Not Nice, Big Lean, Delorean Black, LB Spiffy, Smoke Dawg, Ty Senoj and more.

He has worked with companies like Roots Canada, Samsung, Warner Records, Sony Music Entertainment, October’s Very Own, Cash Money, Sticks and Stones Agency, Solstice Magazine, Rebel Magazine, Flanelle Magazine and more.
