Primarily a product photographer, Joe also adores the discipline of headshots and portrait photography.
For nearly thirty years Joe had an amazingly successful career as a live event lighting designer; working in Theatre, Opera, Ballet, modern dance, Rock and roll and countless corporate events. However photography, both still and motion has been his life long passion.
Working out of his studio in the eastern part of the Massive Central in France, Joe combines his studio work with getting out and about in the stunning mountain locations of the Haute-Loire (départment 43)
in 2011, Joe wrote, directed and edited a feature film: If you ever get to heaven, a 3000 km road movie which can be seen on line.
Joe still has a design company that designs both lighting and scenery/stages all over the world but is never happier than with a camera firmly grasped in his paws.
