Grant left software engineering to be a professional digital photographer in 2003. With no formal training, he was prepared to be a "starving artist". Josh Root wrote: "Through boundless energy and a ton of hard work, Justin has succeeded on a scale that would make many photographers jealous."[1]

Grant has been an official Judge and sponsor to the Miss Utah USA[5] pageant in 2008 and to the Miss Latina US pageant in both 2005 and 2006.
