How far in advance should I book?
For headshot days and multi-day assignments, 3 to 6 weeks notice is ideal. Event and conference coverage can sometimes be arranged on shorter notice — get in touch and we will do our best to accommodate your timeline.
How quickly are photos delivered?
Standard turnaround is 3 to 5 business days, delivered through a private, downloadable online gallery. Expedited delivery is available for time-sensitive projects.
Where do sessions take place?
Anywhere that works for you — your office, an outdoor location, or a studio. Josh brings professional lighting and equipment to ensure consistent, polished results regardless of the setting.
Can you photograph large teams?
Yes. Josh regularly photographs teams of 100+ people in a single day, with efficient back-to-back scheduling so each person is only away from their desk for a few minutes.
How does the headshot selection process work?
After the shoot, each subject receives 5 to 7 of their best unedited selects. They choose their favorite, and Josh professionally retouches and delivers that final image.
Do you offer drone and aerial photography?
Yes. Josh is an FAA Part 107 certified, insured drone operator and captures aerial stills and 4K video for corporate campuses, events, construction, and editorial work.
What kinds of events do you cover?
Conferences, keynotes, all-hands meetings, product launches, galas, and multi-day corporate events. Josh moves through events quietly and unobtrusively while capturing both candid moments and arranged shots.
What makes Josh different from other corporate photographers?
A photojournalism background. Josh's editorial work has appeared in TIME, the Wall Street Journal, and through AFP and Getty. That editorial eye — and the ability to work fast under pressure — is what he brings to corporate headshots and events.
