Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I believe that I have a strong sensitivity to those who I photograph. When on assignment for a documentary project, I never take a photo of someone if I would not want to be photographed in the same situation should our roles be reversed.
Photography is simply a tool which allows me to explore and discover our world and the amazing lives of those who inhabit it.

Joshua truly is an artist. His unique perspective on life shines through his work. Creativity is present in the POV, geometric framing, & quirky shots he captures. Joshua has the ability to capture the essence of the moment. This speaks to his ability to subtly feel everyone's energy, while bringing his subjects ease through his charisma & innate love for others, while in turn capturing that essence that makes us georgeous human beings. I've worked with Joshua both professionally, & socially. He has photographed my happiest memories, as well as my professional image. His attention to detail is incredible - as not only does he capture the moment, he is keen on editing for a flawless outcome. I couldn't be happier with Josh's work!

Josh is not only one of the most talented, but truly generous photographers I've ever met. My colleague met Josh in San Francisco and told him about a musician empowerment project my nonprofit PeaceTones (peacetones.org) was running in Nairobi, Kenya. We would be there for one month working with musicians in three different Nairobi slums, meeting with partners, contacts and local musicians; hosting legal, tech, and business workshops for aspiring artists as well as two peace concerts; and auditioning local musicians to participate in an online artists discovery competition. Josh immediately connected with the project going above and beyond to pay his own way to Kenya to help photograph us. As a small nonprofit, it's hard to express how impactful it was to have a professional photographer capturing our work. Josh has an incredibly thoughtful eye and a way of making people feel comfortable and natural which is key when working in nonprofit work and, arguably, any photography. He is humble and extremely attentive to the needs of who he's working with, even drawing inspiration from that. It was a pleasure and honor working with Josh and I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone and everyone.

Josh photo'd our wedding in October, and captured every beautiful moment. We had a fall wedding in the Hudson River Valley of New York on an estate property. He was with us all weekend. Not only did we fall in love with our photos, our family and friends fell in love with Josh! My favorite element about his photos are that they never seem staged or unnatural. He is great at capturing lifes beautiful moments without too much of saying "cheese!!!" Many guests commented on how they never saw him actually, and how great it is when you don't even realize the photographer is there. He was professional, kind, and quick to turn around images for us to see. I adore Josh, and would recommend him to anyone wanting special moments caught on camera.

I needed new headshots. Josh was prompt in providing information, and he was able to schedule the shoot very soon thereafter. At the shoot he took the time needed (but not too much time!) and the final result was spectacular. The pictures looked great, and Josh has a knack for bringing out the best parts of my personality. Very satisfied!

We hired Joshua to shoot our wedding. He did a fantastic job. Every time we look at the album, we not only relive the experience but we relive the feelings we had on the best day of our lives. He is such a talent, I couldn't imagine using anyone else. In fact, we just hired him to photograph our first baby and the pictures are stunning, expressive and we will cherish them for decades. He captures the moment and the emotions and it never looks or feels staged. Josh was born to take photos and we feel so lucky we found him.
