University & Higher Education Photographer | Bay Area
Graduation ceremonies, campus events, and faculty portraits — documented beautifully, delivered stress-free.
With over a decade photographing graduation ceremonies, alumni events, and faculty profiles across the Bay Area, I’ve learned that great university photography isn’t just about stunning images — it’s about making the entire process effortless for the people coordinating it.
I handle every detail behind the scenes so your team can stay focused on the event itself. The result: polished, compelling images that capture the energy and significance of your institution’s most important moments — delivered on time, every time.
Whether you need coverage for a commencement ceremony, a donor reception, a faculty portrait day, or ongoing campus storytelling, I’d love to be your go-to photographer.

WHY HIRE JOSH?
Bay Area's Go-To Corporate Headshot Photographer
My background in photojournalism is what sets my university work apart. I’m trained to find the decisive moment, the graduate’s expression as they cross the stage, the pride on a parent’s face, the candid energy of a faculty reception, and turn it into an image that actually means something.
Over the past decade, I’ve photographed events at Stanford Law School and institutions across the Bay Area, working with events teams to ensure everything runs smoothly from setup to final delivery. I use professional lighting and an editorial eye to create portraits and event images that are both polished and authentic.
