Justin Vitale cultivates time and gives grain to memory, registering moments that study the ordinary for purpose. He explores how to apply focus, and pursues the limitations of possibility through perspective. He invites the viewer to reflect and be alive through his work, to pause and search for meaning.

Born in Queens, New York, he has embraced life by taking inspiration from its diversity. Remaining open to its potential, he has worked in the artistic mediums of photography, music, design and video. In April 2016, he registered his creative business, Medium Mix, marking a new beginning in his artistic career.
