What is California photography? Is it capturing celebrities? Magic moments at iconic venues? Models on sun-soaked beaches? Movie backlots?

The answer is yes—it’s all of that, and more. Southern California is the heart of production, the birthplace of glamour, and the land where everyone aims to be somebody. For over 20 years, Joe has been working the California beat, fortunate enough to photograph the glitz and glam that make Los Angeles, well, Los Angeles.

But for Joe, it's the stories behind the camera that truly matter. Whether it's a high-profile event or a quiet, intimate portrait, he’s driven to capture the authentic spirit of this vibrant and ever-changing place he calls home. It’s not just about the flash—it's about finding the soul in the scene, and that’s what keeps him inspired every day.
