| Raised
in the coastal town of Beaufort, SC, Josh began developing an interest
in photography when he discovered the old cameras his father had
brought back from Vietnam, "There was a whole set of camera
equipment and darkroom materials that had been boxed up for years.
It was everything I needed to create pictures. All that was left
for me to do was to figure out how make it all work." Traveling
to Europe, Australia and throughout America served to foster Josh's
interest in capturing his experiences on film.
Josh
studied photojournalism at the University of Missouri before graduating
and joining the staff of Southern Living. He worked there as a photographer
for six years before leaving to start a freelance career.
Describing
his work, Josh refers to the way he creates his refined, subtle
images. "I'm trying to create order out of confusion and distraction.
I strip away the elements that take away from emotional and editorial
impact of the subject and distill it to leave only what is relevant.
"
Josh
has extensive experience with photographing architecture, food,
people and travel. His unique set of specialties makes him a favorite
of lifestyle magazines as well as advertising and public relations
firms.
He
now lives back in his hometown of Beaufort, SC with his wife Shannon
and his sons Jefferson and Warren. |
