Justin Marutz is a Director of Photography and EDITOR based in ATLANTA and working everywhere.

An accomplished cinematographer based in Atlanta, Georgia, I have been working in the film industry for over six years and have developed a reputation for delivering high-quality work and creative solutions to my clients and those I work with.

From an early age, I have been enamored with films, shooting videos on a digital camcorder, and editing music videos in Sony Vegas as a child. After falling out of it for a few years, in college, my passion for filmmaking reignited. I studied Film both at Kalamazoo Valley Community College and later at Western Michigan University. During my time in Kalamazoo, I worked on various short films, advertisements, music videos, and documentary projects, always with the goal of crafting enticing visuals to help tell a compelling story.

Eventually, this work brought me to Atlanta, where I began focusing on product advertisements, particularly in the automotive industry (WheelPros). There, I learned a lot about creating captivating imagery and what you can do with a few lights and some creativity. In my spare time, I shoot short films and music videos to keep growing in my skills and passions.

What I love most about being a cinematographer is the versatility of the job. I am able to adapt to any project or style, whether shooting on location or in a studio. I approach every project with enthusiasm, professionalism, and a commitment to excellence, earning me the respect of my peers and clients.
