Editorial Credentials That Set the Work Apart
Most corporate headshot photographers come from a portrait or wedding background. Josh’s training is different — he’s a working editorial photojournalist whose images are distributed worldwide 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 — working fast under pressure, finding the genuine moment, telling a story in a single frame — is what he brings to every corporate headshot session. The result is a portrait that looks like you, not a stock photo.
Recent Executive Headshot Work
Josh’s recent executive portrait work includes Google CEO Sundar Pichai and AWS CEO Matt Garman. Read the behind-the-scenes accounts:
