Featured New Artist: Justin Maxon
Justin Maxon is this week’s new artist from our friends at Aurora Photos. Always on the look-out for new talent to bring into their commercial and editorial agency, Aurora’s staff regularly seeks out new, up and coming photographers. Those whose material they find especially unique and exciting, they share with us to highlight on abouttheimage. We hope our readers will enjoy learning a little about these young pro-photographers and seeing examples of their outstanding work.
Justin Maxon, an upcoming photographer based in San Francisco, California, is interested in pursuing documentary projects that focus on issues of poverty and social injustice. Maxon recently won first place in the Daily Life category of the World Press Photo contest. Maxon’s winning image depicts Pha and his mother, Mui, as they help each other bathe in the Red River in Hanoi, Vietnam. Maxon writes, "Mui said she knows how hard Phas life is and keeping him clean is something she can do to make his life easier."
