Editorial Credentials That Set Event Coverage Apart
Most corporate event photographers come from a wedding or portrait background. Josh’s training is different — he’s a working editorial photojournalist whose event coverage runs alongside news photography that’s distributed through Agence France-Presse (AFP) and Getty Images, with bylines in TIME, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and the San Francisco Chronicle.
That editorial discipline — moving fast and unobtrusively, finding the moment that matters, working under pressure — is what he brings to corporate event coverage. The result is event photography that feels editorial, not staged.

Recent large corporate event coverage includes a 950-person aerial group photo at Union Square and executive portrait work with Google CEO Sundar Pichai and AWS CEO Matt Garman. From CES and AWS re:Invent to all-hands meetings and fundraising galas, Josh has photographed events at every scale.
