Justin Krause - BSc (hons) Studio & Performance Technology

Executive Creative Director/DOP/Photographer - IMPACT 20twenty

Justin has a love of all things tech, travel and music related! Having worked around the world with his successful Wedding & Portrait Photography business, Justin Krause Photography (JKP) and with his previous role as Senior Visual Content Specialist with Toolstation for over 12 years, he's developed a keen eye for perfection and a love of story telling through photography and film, be it for Brand Commercials or Promos, new range launches, individual product videos to internal communications and training videos.

With JKP he noticed an increase in the Commercial Photography and a shift to more video content being devoured online. Identifying a gap in the immediate local market he discussed the ideas with peers with a view to fulfil the requests from businesses looking to improve their brand image. After a period of research, IMPACT 20twenty was born in the January of 2020. With a view for brand expansion always in view, for the first year he operated as a Sole Shooter, shooting a variety of photography and video in a hybrid role for website, social media content and print for hotels, estate agents, restaurants, builders and landscapers.

Random Fact: Justin Applied to the RAF for Pilot Officer and was accepted for Initial Officer Selection at RAF Cranwell. Was top of his class for aptitude and team building but unfortunately (back then at least) he failed the medical due to eyesight. He has 21 Hours towards his Private Pilots License, going solo in under 10 hours training.
