Justine Kirby is from the South Island of New Zealand. She enjoys traveling all over the world. She has visited more than 180 countries.

Justine's interest in photography grew with her interest in travel. For many years, like most people, photography was a means of recording what she saw in different places. Justine then devoted more time to learning about photography. The following (shamelessly pilfered) quote sums up how she now thinks about it: "Don't take pictures of interesting things; make interesting pictures of things."

JShe has attended many photography courses, photography workshops and photo safaris around the world, including in:

• New York (PhotoUno; International Center of Photography)
• Washington, DC (Capital Photography Center; Washington Photo Safari)
• Siem Reap (Angkor Travel Photography) and
• Paris (David Henry).

When she's not traveling the world, Justine works in the financial services industry.
