About Justin

When Justin was seven years old, his parents gave him a camera. He developed such a passion for photography that he almost forgot about dancing. Despite the fact that Justin clearly had the talent, his father was worried that his son will abandon a promising career, so he hid the camera, claiming that he had misplaced it. Of course, Justin was devastated, but soon he took up dancing again, and his father breathed a sigh of relief.
