My name is Justin Riley and welcome to my photography webpage and online portfolio. I am a semi-professional photographer from Lawrence, Kansas, with a four-year degree in the Liberal Arts from Grinnell College in Grinnell, Iowa. My photography experience involves photojournalism as well as documentary, landscape and travel photography. Furthermore, I have recently started photographing weddings, shooting with a perspective unique to photojournalism. Wedding photos can be seen bellow under the gallery "weddings."

If you or anyone you know has a wedding, family gathering or event that they would like photographed, I am currently available for hire and can be reached at Rileyjus@gmail.com for price quotes and scheduling. Also, note that all of the photographs on this webpage are available for purchase and printing. If you would like to purchase a photograph archived under the gallery "My Raw photo collection" please email me with the link to the photo that you would like and I will properly edit the photo for printing and sale. Photos in all other galleries are ready for sale and printing via the shopping cart.

Photography Experience: From 2004-2006 I photographed for and co-edited the Grinnell Cyclone (The 2005 book can be viewed online at http://web.Grinnell.edu/cyclone]), an annual 182 page memory book focused on artistic, black-and-white documentary photography. In May of 2006 I graduated from Grinnell College and worked on a publicity publication for Grinnell which highlighted current Grinnellians participating in summer internships around the country. In the Spring of 2007 I worked as a freelance photographer for The ArgenTimes http://www.theargentimes.com/] out of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Most recently I have focused on landscape photography, weddings, and photojournalism revolving around Latin American's current political swing to the left. I was in Cuba last winter for Fidel's resignation and then in El Salvador covering the presidential elections this past March completing pieces for the ArgenTimes http://www.theargentimes.com/currentaffairs/newsfromlatinamerica/leftist-fmln-party-wins-salvadoran-elections-now-what-/], North American Congress on Latin America (NACLA) https://nacla.org/node/5654)], and Upside Down World http://upsidedownworld.org/main/content/view/1793/1/]. I am currently living in Carbondale, Colorado, and plan to move out West to Portland, Oregon, this coming November.
