Joseph Hawk
Artist | Professional | Photography

United States

From an early age, Joseph Hawk has always show interest in the Arts. When it came to creative projects, teachers would grit their teeth when they couldn't pry the pencil and paper from his hands. But that is how he has been; dedicated to one medium, to the chagrin of others. Much of his work reflects his personality. There is much desire to convey emotion - Love, passion, humor, confidence… to get to root of his subject and bring it forth in an image.

He has been in the visual media market for 9 years now. Meaning, he made his start in video, streaming via the internet, filming concerts and musician documentaries, and eventually weddings and other commercial pieces. But video wasn't enough. In 2004 he made a jump into photography. Most would consider this backwards, but there was a real desire to tell a story with one image. Over the years, he has built a team that covers a varied range of projects, from commercial and fashion projects, to portraiture and head shots, to weddings and special events.

There is more to his work than a simple snap of the shutter though; More than just chance or luck. He looks for those moments. The spontaneous, magical moments that happens all around us but seldom see.

You will notice a large portion of fine art / natural scene photography in his gallery as well. These are his pet projects. It has often been said that these photographs have a calming effect on the viewer. You feel at peace while you take in the world through his eyes.
