Justin is an emerged comfortably and fully able artist in his debut period in my opinion. 'There is a lovely conversation you can find across Justin's works' The works are orbital, and gave me the feeling of an evolving artist who can identify the purpose of an image by understanding his ability of a photographer. His use of screens, lights, colour, dimension and then capturing the qualities into his art that he is genuinely enjoying.
There is a much to enjoy about Justin's works,with his creations and his natural ability to achieve such successful works for us to enjoy a great natural photographer is one reason I'm a fan, I wish this guy my best in his career and my creative best.

"Working with you was very interesting. You made the whole thing enjoyable, and the photographs are superb, top quality. You have a real talent."
- John Myatt
"The grey hair takes over. It will win soon. Great photo, though."
- Neil Gaiman
"Justin is the kind of photographer you could take anywhere. He is deeply sensitive to the environment he finds himself in and quick to adapt to the people he encounters. This has the effect of making them relax and open up, which is a huge advantage during interviews and vitally important on location. He is quietly methodical and notices the details that will add colour to the piece, whilst his portraits always capture the essential quality of his subjects. I hope to have a long working relationship with Justin, and at present he is always my photographer of first choice."
- Nico Kos Earle
"Working with Justin was as uncomplicated as having a chat with a friend. I felt that what he was looking for was me as ME and that's what is shining through the surface of his pictures. Art. Naturally."
- Sophia Klose
"Never have I had such an intimate photography session for myself, but in comparison to most I’ve worked with, I can safely say that Justin works with a natural vigour for photography.
Van Vliet will let you know exactly what he’s trying to achieve, as if he’s glanced at your face and derived every idea of how to best present it. I’ve come to believe that the craft of photography and what separates good photographers and great photographers is all in the speed in which they find their image Justin finds this all within an instant."
