About
My focus is your vision. I know how to get that big idea created. Have been in the industries of music/ celebrity / movie poster and fashion for over 10 years. My gear is top of the line as are my photoshop skills. I want to create something that you can be proud to put in a frame.
What you can expect from our session together is responsiveness, connection, and energy. For most sessions I come prepared with bluetooth speaker, playlist, 2 battery operated strobes to perfect lighting, a laptop and iPad so you can see images real time without looking over my shoulder on a tiny screen. I am fast at setting up what we need, and fast and cleaning it up when were are done.
As far as downloading goes, you can expect your images in most cases to be within your reach in under a week, including the retouched images. My retouching is done meticulously, no matter how small the project. Have a look at my previous work and see if I am right for your project.
Hope to work with you soon!

Josh was so easy to work with from the very start. He listened to my inspiration and brought the gear to bring my ideas to life! He arrived at my event early, and had my photos available the next day. Couldn’t be happier with his service! Thank you Josh for capturing my intimate wedding ceremony❤️

I am so glad I found Josh Sep Photography for my daughter's engagement beach photos. I can't say enough about how professional, super personable, and very talented photographer he is. He is very accommodating and very patient. Josh made my family feel comfortable while they posed for pictures and they turned out great. I am so pleased with my session and final photographs. I cannot recommend him enough!

Having been a creative director for over 20 years who has worked with multiple photographers, I would highly recommend Josh for your next project. Not only is he a master at his craft, he took the time to do the research necessary to understand our assignment in order to achieve quality results. Josh went above and beyond not only to give us excellent, creative photos, but to represent our brand with professionalism and make our client have a wonderful experience at the shoot.

Josh is a master of his craft. He showed up well in advance of the scheduled shoot time, came equipped with everything needed for the shoot and set it all up. Then, when we needed models last minute he was able to dip into his Rolodex and have professional, affordable models on the set in no time!
After the shoot we received the hundreds of quality photos promptly.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing varies depending on the vision, needs and quantity of photos. The most modest prices I have can be a 1 hour/ 1 look/ 1 retouch. That could start at 100-200 depending on my availability. Some groups have gotten together and we worked out a deal like that. The shots that will be used for commercial, editorial or marketing would get more expensive and on a case by case basis.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to find out their vision, if any, and manage expectations and work with them to get exactly what they want. We work out a schedule that works with both of us and I require a deposit in case of last minute cancellations.
I will then bring all my gear to them and we will make a shoot happen. I come prepared with a laptop and iPad so you can see the images as they pop up to make sure we are all on the same page creatively.
Once done I upload all the images to have selects made by the client and then we retouch the amount of images we had negotiated. If more shots are requested to be retouched we can also handle that.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Bachelors Degree at UCSD in Visual Arts
Certified Phase One and Canon Professional
