Justin Guerra is a photographer based in Taos, New Mexico, working across the American West and beyond. His photographs are shaped by open landscapes, roadside architecture, forgotten places, cultural history, and the slow discipline of film photography.

With a background in history, archaeology, and anthropology, Justin is drawn to places where landscape and memory overlap: old highways, desert towns, adobe walls, motel signs, mountain passes, and the traces people leave behind.

His work spans fine art prints, documentary travel, editorial assignments, brand storytelling, photography education, interiors, hospitality, and selected large-format portrait studies.

I work across film, digital, and large format depending on the project. Some work is made quickly on the road; other work is slower, more deliberate, and built around storytelling, sequence, place, and atmosphere.
