THIS IS THE LIFE I CHOSE THIS IS THE LIFE I LEAD

Josh. 24. New Jersey. Guitar. Weed. Music. Tattoos. I come alive in the lights.

I've been working as a real estate and architecture photographer for like the past month or so and it's really made me fall in love with taking pictures all over again....I can't imagine anything more different than concerts, fiddling with my tripod until every little line and angle is perfectly centered and framed exactly how I want it and remote triggering my camera using my laptop....It's weirdly peaceful compared to the intensity and action of live shows. I know alot of people follow me for concert pics but I hope you won't mind me changing it up...book me for real estate gigs through shoootin.com !!! @heldhousemedia everything shot on @sonyalpha A9ii with 16-35 f2.8 #gmaster HDR images made from 5 bracket exposures (at Jersey City, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaF2m0gpBCL/?utm_medium=tumblr

My stunningly beautiful girlfriend is 26 today! I'm so unbelievably proud of you and all that you have accomplished and overcome this year. You really make me the best man I can be and I am forever grateful for all the love and adoration you put into our relationship and all the positivity you bring to your family and friends. Loving you has been the honor of my life and I can't wait to see what this year holds for us. Here's to many more couple trips, seafood dates, Reese's cups, and photoshoots that test my self control 😆 I love you so much, Happy birthday baby ❤️🥰🌺🍓💍👑 @kellxbellx https://www.instagram.com/p/CYf4v3kAaTS/?utm_medium=tumblr

@iceninekills at Starland was a success 🔥🎉 I wanna thank @rickyarmellino for giving me the chance to shoot again, I had a great time even though it was a bit of a madhouse 😂 I definitely was tested as a photographer having only 3 songs to shoot no flash and like 5 other photographers plus security in the pit with me but honestly these challenges are what keep me coming back for more 💪🏼 thanks for looking 🙏🏼 book me to shoot your show or event!! @heldhousemedia everything shot on @sonyalpha #a9ii with @sigmaphoto 24-70 f2.8 DG DN + @moment #cinebloom 20% #concertphotography (at Starland Ballroom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CW5-lo6rHqC/?utm_medium=tumblr

"The red moon hangs low, and beasts rule the streets. Are we left no other choice, than to burn it all to cinders?" A wild day 3 with the man @tattoosbynickfierro this was no joke probably the most painful tattoo session I've ever went through, but honestly it signifies a big paradigm shift for me as everything in my life has started to ramp up and become more serious. Feels good to treat myself to some artwork after hustling so hard this year. Only one more session left to finish this project 🤘🏼 (at Algorithm Tattoo & Fine Arts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWevwtrtSla/?utm_medium=tumblr

Some shots of @atwwtband from the halloweekend show this past Friday. These guys are some of my best friends and they have been hustling their cute butts off, dropping new music with videos and booking a tour with @attackattackus in 2022 I couldn't be prouder. This show was my first trial run with the @moment #cinebloom filter on my camera and I'm loving the results I got with all the lights and smoke. Deff gonna be a kit staple from now on 😁 everything shot on @sonyalpha A9ii with #gmaster 16-35 f2.8 + @moment Cinebloom 20% edited in @lightroom (at Allentown, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CV0bWR9pRY3/?utm_medium=tumblr

Today I performed with the Rock 101 kids I've been working with for the past few months. I had a blast working with them and I'm very stoked on the improvements they have all made 😇 I broke out the Les Paul for the show so we would match and everything 😂 feeling really lucky to get to have such a rewarding day job and proud of all the kids that performed today 🙏🏼 @schoolofrock.randolph shout out to @jbernacchia for snapping some shots of me on my camera @heldhousemedia (at The Stanhope House) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUB1TQBA67E/?utm_medium=tumblr
