A Mess is a Terrible Thing to Waste
In Disguise
In Shadow

I drove up from the springs to shoot with him for the day and the amount we got done in one day was awesome! The day was fun and productive, Josh has such fun and creative ideas. I also felt very comfortable with Josh, he was extremely respectful of me and also listened to anything I had to add when we were shooting! 10/10 would recommend him, can't wait to work with him again!
Josh is such an awesome photographer to work with!

I had originally stopped making photos as a creative outlet due to the problematic nature of the industry and the conflicts of how people treat one another. When I was approached by a friend with an introduction to Josh, I was assured he was a safe person to make photos with. Josh encouraged me to explore my passions and ideas, and offered to make me feel as comfortable as possible- offering to shoot at my house, meeting my husband, whatever | needed to do my best possible work. It's with his dynamic situational adaptation to ensure a positive experience and outcome, I greatly recommend collaborating with him. And - it really doesn't hurt to have pics back in 24 hours.

1 have worked closely with many different photographers, but Josh is truly one of my favorites - he rises above. He has an uncanny way of making anyone feel completely comfortable, like you've been friends for years, never any judgment. He understands the perfect balance between guiding you to help you look your best, and the freedom to move/feel/look natural, so he can capture your unique vibe. He pulls out the most beautiful and authentic parts. I haven't seen a photo come from this man's lens that I didn't want to frame. As a woman, it's important to feel safe and secure during a photo shoot, and Josh truly holds a safe space. I trust him and have recommended many friends to him. They have all been over the moon.

Josh has quickly and easily become one of my absolute favorite photographers to work with. I have a more alternative style than most models, which can make it difficult to find photographers that also shoot in a darker aesthetic, but upon finding Josh's Instagram, I fell in love with his use of movement and shadow, and knew we could create some really cool collaborative shoots. He knows exactly what he needs in order to create the shot we need. He is great at giving direction for posing - and also great at quickly capturing the shot so any of the more difficult poses aren't held for long. Josh cares so much about the safety and comfortability of the models he works with, and that has continued to prove true with each new shoot we do. After our shoots, I always leave feeling empowered, excited, and even more confident than when came into the shoot. I love that I'm able to see some of the shots we get before I leave too! Josh is also phenomenal about getting back edited pictures quickly - and the edits are incredible.
6 stars for Josh
(because 5 isn't enough)

1 am by no means a model, the closest I have come to getting pictures taken is during my powerlifting meets. When Josh reached out to me to dabble in some shoot ideas due to my build I was nervous but mostly I had no idea what I was doing. From the moment we started discussing the shoot to the time of the shoot and even today, he made me feel so comfortable in my own skin, comfortable with my own ideas and accepted I had no idea what I was doing and helped every step of the way! His photo ideas and photo stvle are like non others and to be involved with his art has been amazing.

Josh is all of these things and so much more! I'm drawn to his dark and moody macabre aesthetic which adds a unique touch to my modeling portfolio! He has so many fresh and original ideas which makes every creative session both fun and completely different from the last. Josh discusses our scope of work in great detail so that I know exactly what to bring with me on the day of our shoot, and the studio space is always setup and ready to go when I arrive. I also appreciate that Josh values model safety and addresses me with the utmost professionalism. I never have to wait long to see the final edits because despite staying busy he has a very consistent turnaround time. If you've been eyeing his work but still haven't booked him - what are you waiting for? Highly recommend to anyone seeking guidance or advice on posing, professional etiquette and / or photoshoot safety.
