Justin Veenema

I'm a photographer from Vancouver, BC, and I spend my days photographing and sharing the stories of people and their pets from around the world.

I originally started this project to overcome my social anxiety, but it became something far more meaningful.

But more than anything, I'm grateful for all the people who have joined me on this journey. This is truly the best community on the planet. 🙏

I capture real stories from all over the world and share them with my audience. Each interview is raw, authentic and unscripted.

💛 Everyone deserves to feel seen. With my street portrait series, I aim to help people see how beautiful they really are.

🐶 Every dog deserves to be loved. So I document the moments, stories & bonds people have with their pets.

This project has reached people from all over the world, and was featured by publications like USA Today, CTV & Global News.

I’ve been grateful to partner with leading brands such as Sony, Cirque du Soleil, Insta360, Samsung, Adorama, Vessi and more.
