Justin Sanchez

Justin's unique perspective was shaped by growing up between his father's Filipino-Spanish heritage and his mother's Australian beach culture, where he developed both a respect for ancient traditions and a love for outdoor adventure. After establishing himself as an art director in Sydney's competitive advertising world, a three-month sabbatical exploring Incan ruins in Peru transformed his casual photography hobby into a passionate documentation of how ancient civilizations harmonized with extreme environments. When a luxury hotel chain discovered his distinctive visual storytelling, Justin found himself unexpectedly transitioning from creating ads to becoming the subject of them, eventually building a second career sharing his explorations of how historical wisdom can inform modern sustainable luxury.
