Justin Hackworth photographs twins, individuals, people that look like twins but aren’t, people that don’t look alike at all, people that want to look like Justin, people that have no idea what Justin looks like, tall people, squatty folks, dog lovers, people that are indifferent about dogs, people that have been to Poland, people that love Polish sausages, and he wants to photograph you.

Here’s a visual summary of our 30 Strangers project from 2009. What’s the 30 Strangers project? Here’s where you can read about this portrait project and fund raiser. And while the photographs have all been taken, we aren’t finished yet. We’re planning an exhibit for July 2nd (more details to follow soon) and I can’t wait. I just got off the phone with Kent Miles who has agreed to help me sequence the show. Kent has had more gallery exhibitions than any other photographer in Utah (solo or group shows) and having his input will make all the difference. It’s all in the details, don’t you know.

Steve Clark is running for the mayor of Provo this fall. Earlier this week he announced his candidacy and today he came by my studio to be photographed. I was really happy to hear about his vision for downtown Provo, especially since my office is in downtown Provo. My favorite part is when he said there would be jet packs for everyone by the year 2015. (Just kidding. He didn’t say anything like that).

Are you like me? Do you love to laugh? Then you’d be happy to spend some time with these two ladies. Do you like to be with people that make you feel like a million damn dollars? Then I think you’d love Lisa and Shauna. I do, and I’m so glad I was able to photograph them.

Me: I love your shoes. They’re fabulous.
Her: Thanks. My son gave them to me.
Me: Wow. That was really nice of him.
Her: Well, I did him the favor of putting them on layaway at Nordstrom.

The 30 Strangers project will soon be over. But what to do about all those people that still wanted to participate after the 30 spots were filled? Well, we came up with a great plan and a super deal. Interested parties still have a little time to get in on it. Let me know if you’re interested and I’ll give you the low-down. That’s what Kiera did. And I was so glad she did, too. She’s a great photographer and I’ve been wanting to meet her for a while. Well, today I got to.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again–I love my job. Thanks for coming in today with your mother and your daughter, Kiera.

Later, Megan’s sisters showed up and I took pictures of the whole group. Amongst themselves there was some catching up to do, of course, so the conversation included this gem.
One sister: Today my son ate two of my birth control pills. He’s fine. The lady at poison control said he could eat the whole pack and all he’d get is a stomach ache.
I love my job.

Justin: So, what do you like to do? Do you play the guitar? Do you ride a skateboard?
The mother: Tell him what you like to do. Tell him what you do as soon as you get home from school every day.
The daughter: You mean, eat?

I love it when people stop by to say hello, just like Sammy did earlier today. And I just happened to have my camera with me and couldn’t pass up the chance to make some picutres of her. Sammy is a great painter and it was good to hear what she’s up to.

We’re excited to announce a new photography project coming up next month. It’s called 30 Strangers: Generations, and it’s inspired by the 30 Strangers project I completed in June 2008. (See it here). The idea behind the project is to photograph 30 portraits of 30 strangers in 30 days.
This year, every day in April, I will photograph a different mother and daughter whom I’ve never met. We’re hoping that on many days we’ll have not just two generations, but three or four.
Want to be part of the project? Believe me, spots will go fast. To participate, please read the info carefully on this page.
I can’t stress that enough. Please read all the info carefully before you contact us. That page will give you everything you need to know about the project–when, where, why–and how to let us know you want to be involved.
As part of the project, we’ll be raising some money for the Center for Women and Children in Crisis, a shelter and safe house here in Provo. If you want to make a donation too, it’s so easy.
Once our project begins, daily updates will be posted here, so stay tuned.
Pictured above are participants from last year’s project.

Jordan plays soccer and is on her way to Uganda with the rest of the team. Justin Hackworth Photography will be lending a hand in their fund raising efforts. Here’s the deal. If you want senior pictures, we’re offering a great price of $99 for the session fee which we’ll donate to Goal for Girls organization, helping send the Timpview soccer team to Africa.

Not too long now before Brett leaves on a mission. Oh, sure, he’s got to finish high school first. But if you ask me, he already fits the part.

They call him X. His name’s Xavier. He likes chick flicks and long walks on the beach. Just kidding. He likes to smash and crush people. He’s a football player at Timpview and in the summer he’ll be headed to Los Angeles to play for UCLA.

Saturday night, as the sun dipped below the horizon, I took these pictures.

When Stephanie came to our party in December she said I couldn’t take any pictures of her. Well, now, that’s hardly a reasonable thing for a pretty girl to tell a photographer. But I respected her ridiculous request. So I was really glad she stopped by today so I could photograph her with a brand new hair cut from Patrick at Shep Salon. (And I’m really looking forward to spring so we can do another round of family pictures for her like we did last year).
Stephanie is the mind & spirit behind the enormously popular & style-tastic blog, stephmodo. Check it out.

Turns out, one of my favorite people is also one of my favorite photographers. I’ve known Trent Nelson for at least 20 years. But it’s not that often that I get a chance to see him. So I was pleased as punch when he came by my office today to say hello.
Trent is the Chief Photographer at the Salt Lake Tribune and has been the Utah News Photographer of the Year three times. His assignments have taken him all over the world, like Africa, Honduras, and Ogden. (I’m just guessing he’s been to Ogden. He didn’t tell me anything about going there. Imagine bragging about going to Ogden. And by the way, he didn’t brag about anything).
From the bio on his website: His 2003 composite photograph of Utah Jazz point guard John Stockton was published over six pages in Sports Illustrated, the largest photograph in the history of the magazine.

Remember Stephaine from the 30 Strangers Project? These portraits were taken at my studio in downtown Provo, and Provo Canyon, just above Sundance.

Lisa and Ryan came for engagement pictures. We walked around Provo a little bit, not too far from my office. Then we drove to Provo Canyon. It’s that time of year, so yes, I’ve been there a lot lately. I consider myself lucky. Do yourself a favor, and drive up there this week. Here’s a one minute slideshow from these engagement portraits.
Interested in getting something like this for yourself or someone you love? Give me a call.
