IT’S ME…
Over time I’ve noticed my work often centers on product and Lifestyle deliverables. I delivered over 70,000 edited shots in 2017….which is kinda wild for me to think about.
I’ve also earned a high level of trust in the Museum & Fine Art world with Directors, Curators, Registrars, Marketing Directors, Art Handlers and Restorers.
I’ve handled a single painting valued at $120,000,000. Documented collections of art so valuable they couldn’t be insured, but instead had to be indemnified by the United States Government.
I have a thoroughly documented history of turning overlooked items into objects of desire, with works published in over 25 books, used in global ad campaigns and featured in museums worldwide.
My well-rounded experience includes extensive knowledge of production, lighting, retouching, cinematography, story telling, creative direction and client management.
I maintain impeccably high standards in my practice with equally refined workflows developed over decades of leading top level productions.

— Shaina Harkness, Collections Manager - THE DALI MUSEUM
“Joseph was our exclusive fine art photographer for 4 years for new acquisitions, works returned from conservation, works never photographed before in our collection and exhibition gallery photos. He was entrusted with the handling of many of our artworks due to the high level of responsibility he always exhibited to the Curatorial staff. His work is absolutely impeccable, and he always strives to capture the best image of the artwork. He is relentless in his quest for the best lighting techniques for each work. He captured images using non invasive techniques, which helped further the understanding of each work and its condition. He is an excellent communicator and troubleshooter and was always flexible with his schedule even when we needed him in a pinch. His professionalism is unparalleled and his photographs speak for themselves. I am certain that he will be an indelible asset to any production, and recommend him without reservation.”
— Emily Shrider, Art Curator - RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL
“It was a pleasure working with him from start to finish. He was punctual for meetings, is a great communicator and worked efficiently while maintaining the highest standards. He takes great pride in his work and it is demonstrated not only in the quality of the work itself, but in his strong work ethic. I would hire him again without hesitation.”
— Victoria King, Museum Registrar & Exhibitions Manager - FHM
“The Florida Holocaust Museum has worked with Joseph over six years for permanent collection and exhibition documented photography. He comes prepared to his appointments and demonstrates concern for object integrity during the documentation process which is most noticeable in his object handling, staging, and lighting knowledge. We recommend him for your photography needs.”
