I'm Josh: A freelance Portrait Photographer & Creative.

I pick up my camera to find the beauty in the simplest moments

Originally from the Bay Area, I moved to D.C. in the Summer of 2018 to pursue my teaching career. Since them, I've developed a love for Street Photography. Acting as a silent observer, I capture energy, beauty, humanity, and perspective in the moment. I shoot to show life through my eyes. In everything that I do, I hope to grow my craft in the art of street photography, develop patience & creativity, and build a love of capturing the moment.

Fact 1


I was born and raised in the Bay Area, CA. My Dad has been my influence and initial foundation into photography. My Dad gifted his Canon AE-1 to me in November of 2022. I see it as a rite of passage and my initial affirmation to grow my eye in photography.

Fact 2


In the beginning of 2023, I solely focused on street photography. However, I leaned into working with subjects face-to-face and grew to enjoy the creative energy that we shared in collaboration.

FACT 3


Naturally, I play the role as an observer. I love to take note of the energy around to learn how we can build a creative synthesis of art. I celebrate the strengths of my subjects but also challenge myself to stretch my artistic ability to improve.

FACT 4


Working and collaborating with other creatives and photogs has helped me manage my social anxiety. I use photography as a therapeutic vehicle to express myself.
