HOWDY.

Josh here.  Thanks for stopping by.  For starters, I wouldn't say that photography is my passion but I do enjoy it and am good with a camera.  My actual passion, aside from being an observer of human nature, is helping people see themselves in the best light.  I really love it when I get to work with those who've never seen themselves through the eyes of one who is determined to see beauty in everyone.  My favorite part is capturing the soul energy of the individual and getting to immortalize a moment in time in an image.  The right light is important.  A good night's sleep the night before the shoot is too.  (Worrying is for the birds)  My photography subjects cover a selective range that includes brides, graduating seniors, models and actors, animals / pets, architecture, families, cookbook/menu cuisine, leaders in business, the arts, government, and moments / scenes in nature.  All types of people have been in front of my lens including some who are well-known.  At one time in my life I thought I wanted to be in the spotlight myself but after spending time in front of the cameras of some great photographers in NYC in my early twenties , I determined that being behind the lens is the best fit for me.  

Simplicity is divine.
