I’m Joel. It’s been a journey to get to where I am at this point. I became interested in photography when my Mom brought me to one of her photography classes. At times I pushed that gift away throughout the years but the desire always came rushing back. I thank God for this wonderful gift and the opportunity that he has blessed me to do with what I love.

 

For me, I am capturing what God has created in life. He’s the true artist and I’m using my style to give glory to God. That is my motivation. My current desires have changed since my walk with God. I have a love for his creation – Birds, Wildlife, Sunrises, Sunsets, and Landscapes.

 

I enjoy creating more of a mixed media style along with my photography. My Grandfather was an artist but I don’t have a gift to draw. I believe God gave me skill sets that have given me more of a digital artist to go along with my photography. You will see that in my body of work.

 

Keep watch and I hope you check back to see the journey I am capturing.
