HELLO,

I'M JOSHUA



When I started this new website, the about me page you see here was the very last section to complete. Why? Well, I didn't know what to say about myself. I mean, I like to take pictures, and I like for people to enjoy those pictures. But there has got to be more behind the curtains, right? Here goes.

I am an artist; I create my art using a camera as my paintbrush and the earth as my palette.

I first got into photography in 2002 at the age of 21 when I purchased my first DSLR Camera, a Nikon D60, and it quickly became my first love. Before that, I was the disposable camera king; the extent of my photo taking was shot on film cameras that you would literally throw away after you completed your 30 shots.


With my new DSLR, I quickly became obsessed, and if I were on an adventure, you would surely see my camera in my hand. Of course, at the time, it was just "taking pictures," but as I reflect back, you could call me an adventure/landscape photographer.



Seeking out incredible scenery to capture and share with the world.


I want to think that I have adventured and explored more than most. The destination would always be to seek out mind-blowing scenery, exploding sunsets, and interesting acts of nature. My photography gave me a way to bring back and share these photos with friends and family that did not have the same opportunities to see these incredible sites firsthand.

the next chapter


Up until recently, photography has been a passion and a hobby, It's much more than that for me now. I want it to define me. With upgraded equipment, decades of experience behind the lens, and a renewed passion to make photography more than just a hobby the next chapter has begun.


I invite you to follow along as I transition from amateur to professional. From nobody to somebody. I'll be honest, I can't do it all by myself, and for once in my life, I am asking for help.

how can you help?


Every artist needs support, which is how we progress in our art and life. So I ask this: Admire my art; take the time to formulate the story it tells and the feelings it provokes.


Next, Share my art; with your friends, family, and social followers. After all, I want the world to see it!


And finally, Buy my art; for photography to be sustainable, artist need to receive support in the form of compensation. I have my art for sale in multiple ways; you can purchase prints from my gallery, browse my selection of Photography NFTs, or reach out to me to hire me for your creative projects.

Family Man

I am not a one-man band

I couldn't wholly tell my story without including the most essential part. I've got an incredible family behind me, for whom I strive every day to be the best man I can be for them. We are a family of photographers; all the kids have hand-me-down DSLRs and are developing their unique styles. My rock, Jenny, is my favorite photographer who captures beautiful images of our friends and family.
