People find me when they're looking for answers

My most successful videos are about buying decisions.

Someone about to spend real money on a camera wants a straight comparison from someone who has used both. That's what these videos are.

Viewers stick with my videos because I use gear the way I'd use it on a real job, and I tell them what works and what doesn't.

For photography clients

20+ years behind the camera

My YouTube channel sits alongside a working photography business. I photograph families, couples, and portraits in Las Vegas, with select sessions along the San Diego coast.

The testing I do for YouTube is the same testing that decides what I bring to your session. I know the gear well enough to stop thinking about it, so my attention stays on you.

About

Hi, I'm Joseph

Photographer, YouTuber, and lifelong tech enthusiast

I was raised in San Diego and now live and work in Las Vegas, where I'm also a full-time stay-at-home dad. I've been a photographer for more than 20 years and a YouTuber for 10.

I go to CES, NAB, and WPPI to keep up with what's coming next, so I can explain it clearly when it lands.
