Justin Branam was born in Houston, Texas on December 31, 1984, where he continues to live. He has three older brothers, including twins and an older half-brother, Courtney Branam, who is a professional in the fading art of glass-blowing.

Justin graduated high school in June 2003 after taking 4 years of photography classes. He has continued to further his knowledge of photography, as he enjoys traveling the globe, and capturing priceless moments through his camera lens.

Justin is also a very active scuba diver. He is currently a certified Divemaster with many specialty certifications including wreck diver, nitrox (enriched air) diver and deep diver, just to mention a few.

Justin is always learning as much as he can on new diving and photo techniques and trying out new things so he can take his photography skills to the next level. He also enjoys getting others involved in his hobbies and would love to talk with anyone about how they can see what few have the chance to see below the surface.
