Meet Joseph in San Francisco

I love to tell stories through my lens and capture natural, emotional moments in time. I like to gently direct my couples and let their love and connection with each other do the rest. Before becoming a professional photographer I was a hopeful illustrative artist, a professional performing artist and I studied music, dance, and multimedia art in college. The choice to pursue a more technical art path naturally progressed from the nerd in me and my love for tech and gadgets! Cameras, computers, and drones are my favourite story telling tools. That being said, I still randomly dance and find any excuse to make the world my stage.

    Languages Spoken: English, and I have also been known to sing ballads in Tahitian from time to time.

    Favourite Place to Shoot: I love to shoot along the waters and beaches of San Francisco. Having the historical San Francisco cityscape on one side and the epic-ness of crashing waves along the Bay Area shores on the other is any photographer's and adventurer's dream backdrop.

Three Things

  1. One thing I can't live without is food. I'm choosing the umbrella of food so that I can include the following in one bundle: sushi, ramen (not from a cup), fudgy brownies, homemade green drinks (yes, I love kale too), and boba drinks.
  2. My friends and colleagues tell me I am a "Jack of All Trades." I am a former professional dancer and lead vocalist for an amazing Tahitian Dance Company here in the Bay Area. I have won many awards in competitions throughout the world, including their beautiful homeland of O Tahiti E. I am also a former world record holder for fastest time in Tetris DX 40 lines. Challenge me if you dare!
  3. When I am not photographing/filming, I love singing with my K-Pop Golden baby girl and Soda Pop baby boy lol! Cheeehooo!! I'm a dad!! I love YouTube, working out, and Star Wars. I love to blast my favorite jams through my massive studio speakers in my office, or in the car, and sing at full range. Lastly, I love eating yummy foods.

Joseph was FANTASTIC! He was so patient with my kiddos and we didn't feel rushed. I am an SF native but love my previous 4 flytographer experiences so much, I decided to do a “staycation” shoot. So happy we picked Joseph for this. He really exceeded our expectations with his photos and kindness.

He is very outgoing and adventurous. He had some great spots for the photos as well as wonderful poses for them. He did very well on the photos themselves and I would highly recommend using him. Very easygoing and wonderful guy who is very great at his job.

Joseph did an incredible job with our surprise proposal session. He helped catch my fiancée totally by surprise, and started off our engagement in such a meaningful way. He truly helped me feel at ease with his communication and suggestions every step of the way leading up to the big day, and we couldn’t be more thankful. We would recommend his services any day and hope our paths cross again soon!

My husband and I highly recommend Joseph if you’re looking for a photographer in the Bay Area. He was able to take great pictures of my little family for our maternity/family photoshoot. Overall, he’s a great photographer and we loved how our photos turned out. We also appreciate how he sent us extra more photos for us to keep. We would definitely hire him again for our next photoshoot.

Joseph toughed it out with us even after I'd realized the location I'd wanted to be captured at was a struggle to get to. It was great to have someone just be human with from spot to spot while stepping outside of our comfort zone and being captured for memory's sake. Great guy, great pictures, great overall!
