Justice Howard

Photography Appreciation

Justice Howard, born on July 25, 1960, in San Francisco, California, is a prominent American photographer known for her evocative and bold imagery. 

Justice's career began with a focus on fetish photography, a niche that was widely recognized at the time. Her work quickly gained attention for its unique style and daring subject matter, leading her to expand into other genres, including erotica, pin-up, and celebrity portraits. She cites Helmut NewtonRobert Mapplethorpe and Mark Seliger as major influences on her artistic approach.

Among Justice's most notable works are her final photographs of country musician Waylon Jennings, taken just months before his death in 2002. This shoot was arranged by Sonny Barger, the former president of the Hells Angels, who was a mutual friend of both Howard and Jennings. Another significant project includes her "Lady Ink" calendar, which showcases tattooed women and has been described as having a "downtown edge."

Justice's work has been widely exhibited, including in over 60 gallery shows and multiple museum displays. She once even choreographed a Las Vegas show winning Best Number in Show after opening night review.
