Hi, I'm Josh Edelson!
I'm a freelance photojournalist and commercial photographer specializing in headshots and event photography.
About Me:
I'm a curious adventure-seeker, passionate about creating visually compelling images and absolutely love to travel. My photojournalism experience has taken me to incredible places and plays a heavy roll in my ability to make mundane scenes interesting in the corporate and event space. Throughout my career, I've developed a refined style and use professional lighting to make portrait subjects jump off the screen. For pricing info., shoot me an email, or give me a call right now.
What I Do:
For my CORPORATE PR and HEADSHOTS work, I shoot high-end headshots and business lifestyle portraits for fortune 500 companies throughout the Bay Area and beyond. I also shoot PR/Ad campaigns and corporate events (keynote speakers, general breakout sessions and cocktail networking receptions). I'm an on-location photographer which means I bring all lighting and backgrounds to your company for the project. Some of my clients include Apple, Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, T-Mobile, Salesforce, Verizon and hundreds of others. Usual delivery for final photos is about 3-5 business days, although faster delivery is available by request.
As far as my PHOTOJOURNALISM experience goes, I can be found covering major news stories with international appeal. Some of which include shooting California Wildfires, Drought, Protests, Presidential Elections and edgy protests. I'm contracted by various news companies like
and others.
On a personal note,I ride a motorcycle, have 3 ridiculously funny cats, and proposed to my wife while skydiving in Spain!I I'd be happy to tell you all about it during our next shoot!
