Photographer Justin Featherstone speaking at the Greater Washington Black Chamber of Commerce Juneteenth Awards Gala for Best of The DMV

Photographer and storyteller Justin Featherstoneโ€”also known as Olotโ€”joined us for an interview shot at the Greater Washington Black Chamber of Commerce Juneteenth Awards Gala.

As the founder of The OLot Parking Lot, Justin describes his work as more than photography: it’s about fostering human connection in a world increasingly shaped by AI. He believes we’re experiencing a deficit of love and genuine connection, and sees his role as helping to bridge that gap by offering a space where people can create, connect, and share their stories.

Through The OLotParkingLot, Justin invites everyone to slow down, be seen, and be heard. Interested in telling your own story? Visit theolotparkinglot.com to book a shoot and share yours.
