 Justin
Robert Burwinkel, the illustrious photographer and filmmaker, was born
on February 14, 1989 and grew up in rural Clermont County roughly twenty
miles away from the city of Cincinnati, Ohio. In his youth he attended
St. Louis School, the parochial school of St. Louis Church in
Owensville. His career at Archbishop McNicholas High School in Anderson
Township was marked with a great deal of success, including being a
four-year Honor Roll student, a member of both the National and National
Art Honor Societies, a student council representative, a Mardi Gras
Honorgaurd member and the 2007 Prom King. Some of his other major
accomplishments include receiving Second Team of the Greater Cincinnati
League for Cross Country for two years, he was the Varsity Cross Country
captain, and he has done hundreds of hours of community service for such
groups as the Clermont County MRDD, Habitat for Humanity and other
worthy causes.

Some of Burwinkel’s hobbies
are music, football, and drawing, but perhaps most of all he likes
photography and film/video production. In fact, he received Honorable
Mention in the Cincinnati Art Association’s Overture Awards and was a
recipient of the Wolfstein Scholarship to the University of Cincinnati’s
DAAP Program upon receiving a perfect score of 5 on the AP 2-Design
Studio
 Art
portfolio from the College Board. He is the proud founder of the Idiots
United Film Group and has affiliations with the musical group Tom Riddle
& Friends and Stuart's Rhino, and is an active personality featured in
the O-Town Rascals Productions.
What, you might ask, does such an active and busy
person do in his spare time? Burwinkel enjoys participating in outdoor
activities such as skiing, bicycling, and outdoor leisure's; as well as
listening to his favorite bands Juanes, Ekhymosis, and the Red Hot Chili
Peppers, to name a few.
Burwinkel has been employed as an
image editor and event photographer at Robert Glutz Photography, where
he began working in May 2007. |
