Josh has been involved in photography for over 12 years after he traded an old longboard for a Panasonic which he could brought to Ireland. While working there, he used the camera to strike up conversations with strangers. The following year, in Thailand, he used a Nikon to document biodiversity in the Northern Thai rainforest.
Following these adventures, Josh pursued a B.S. in Geology from the College of William and Mary where he learned the importance of scale in imagery. Currently, Josh is Ph.D. candidate in Earth, Marine, and Environmental Sciences at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Institute of Marine Sciences. His work there combines his passion for photography with his career in earth's surface processes, using aerial imagery and remote sensing to study and document coastal evolution.

Josh's projects often reflect these themes, showcasing intricate patterns and unfamiliar perspectives. As an FAA Certified Drone pilot, Josh now emphasizes his work on aerial imagery, working in coastal resilience projects, real estate, event photography, and mapping, while maintaining a presence in land-based photography. His work has been featured in various spaces, including the Geological Society of America's Annual Calendar and Nature News Magazine, and has won awards from the local Carteret County Arts Council and Carolina's Public Humanities.
