Hi :)

I’m Joseph

My journey into photography began after graduating with a degree in finance, when I picked up my first camera during a trip to Portland, Oregon. Surrounded by the stunning landscapes of the Pacific Northwest, I discovered a new way to express myself and connect with the people and the natural world around me.

Studying 3 years of theology further deepened my appreciation for the beauty of life and the importance of capturing meaningful moments for my clients. I found solace and inspiration in nature, often seeking out the ocean's waves as a lifelong surfer or the stillness of the desert to reflect and create under the stars.

Today, my photography is a fusion of artistry, emotion, and storytelling. Whether it's the thrill of chasing the perfect wave or the joy of preserving cherished memories, I strive to create imagery that resonates with authenticity and heart.
