MEET JOSHUA

Hey there! I’m a 20-year-old student with a camera and a craving for adventure.

I was born and raised on Long Island, NY, and now I’m over in Evanston, IL studying Journalism at Northwestern University. I enjoy adventuring out to Snowmass, Colorado, to explore the outdoors. New York, Chicago, Colorado — it’s clear I love cold weather. I’m an avid skier… “What other sport comes with endless panoramic views and great vibes?” Many, actually, but that’s beside the point.

As I trudge my way into the professional world, I find myself becoming increasingly aware of my potential to impact the changing society. For now, I’m documenting my life through photos. Whether it’s something I want to do as a profession — or a hobby — I’m along for the ride.

Right now, I’m a student content creator for the Northwestern Global Marketing and Communications department contributing content to various Northwestern media outlets. When in Colorado, I shoot photographs for the Aspen Daily News.

That’s who I am in a nutshell. Below is where my passion originated.

Sincerely, Joshua

JOSHUA’S STORY

My love for cameras began at sleepaway camp when I was eight. Having had the opportunity to work with an awesome director and mentor named Dan Zelikman, I developed a passion for capturing stories through this new medium: film. I enjoyed it to the extent that I created my own company “Piña Colada Films” (virgin, of course!).

Every summer after that, I would help the camp media department shoot videos, take photos, and more. My skills are improving through mentorship and hands-on experience. Year after year, my interest slowly crossed over from videography to photography.

I began taking on jobs, snapping images for my school, clubs, teams, sporting events, bakeries, offices, and real estate.

I publish my images on my Instagram, Unsplash, Getty, and iStock.

My work has since been featured on thousands of websites, publications, and presentations — and hundreds of well-known media outlets and universities.
