Road Scholars - Stewards Of Time — Justin Smith Studio

Road Scholars - Stewards Of Time

Director
Photographer

This project was the first one I walked away from, genuinely feeling like I knew what the hell I was doing. That's in part due to collaborating with so many legends, like VidMuze, Chris Lymberis, and, of course, my big brother Joey Richey. We ran, drove, and flew around VIR for a day and also shot on a few backroads outside of Durham, and years later, this is still one of the projects that I'm most proud to share.

Howdy, I'm Justin Smith. I work as a Creative Director for Wray Ward, overseeing their Studio offering. However, I also collaborate with other production companies across the country as a freelancer, offering my services as a Director, DP, and Photographer. If you're a nice client, I'll also handle post.

Most thirty-something, bearded, tattooed white guys with cameras will tell you that they're experts in bringing your brand to life through their unique lens and storytelling.

Damn, that's my pitch as well.

But, with decades of experience, I've formed relationships with top production crews in the US and beyond. In collaboration with clients and teams, I've been given a few regional and national trophies for my efforts in my field, which serve as great bookends!

Outside of my own weird brain, I like to tap into agency teams that help me formulate the right message rooted in insights so that the outcome of our work together is thoughtful and powerful. Most importantly, it resonates with audiences and helps build your brand.

With comfort shooting in the Studio or out in the trenches, I've earned the trust of a few of the following folks: Budweiser, Harley Davidson, Marriott, Moen, Sonos, and many more.
