Justin Tedford
Photographer and Educator
Justin Tedford is a photographer, husband, father, and photo educator from rural Iowa. He grew up exploring the hills and back roads near his grandparents’ farm, and the family farms and agricultural communities that surrounded him helped to shape his style and passion for photographing his home state. While he has dabbled in a number of visual arts since childhood, his passion for photography wasn’t ignited until a class he took in high school. Today, Justin shares that passion with others through teaching and mentoring as well as through pursuing personal photography projects.
