Justin Leighton has been in the business of taking pictures for nearly 25 years.
At the tender age of 18, he started a magazine with a few friends. The magazine folded after six months, but Justin came out of the experience knowing that he could take pictures for a living.
He went on to work for some of the most prestigious publications in the world, covering the Balkan conflict, the first Gulf War,"troubles" in Northern Ireland. He joined Network Photographers, a collective of some the UK's best photojournalists of the 20 th. century, and won Nikon's Press Photographer of the Year in 1997.
In 2005, Justin decided to take a break from the news. As a lifelong petrol head, it was natural that he should turn his focus on to the automobile. Justin has now been working for Top Gear for four years, taking pictures for the magazine, the TV show and the worldwide brand.
He has just finished shooting an ad campaign for KTM cars, and a month long series of night shoots for a beer commercial which is due out in late 2011.
