Joseph-Balestra's photostream

A young artist originally from New England, being from small town Joseph was always known for day dreaming of what else what out there. After years of adrenaline filled sports to take his mind off what else was out there, Joseph found himself holding is father’s camera that was left after his un-timely passing, and fire was ignited. Joseph since has spent the last few years traveling from one city to the next looking for inspiration and to experience life it self. Self taught, Joseph took advantage of not being tied down to any given place. He has always been interested in meeting new people, as well as getting the opportunity to see new and unknown things. Growing not only as an artist but an individual. Never being okay with getting to comfortable with sitting in the same place this mind set has taken a big role in his work, always striving to grow with each new assignment and interaction. Currently based out of Philadelphia, Joseph spends his time trying to find his Vision and Voice in this industry. He loves working with People and watching great minds bring a concept to life. Early exposure in his photography career to larger production photography as an assistant in Chicago, has permanently planted a drive in his mind and work, to always go big and to push for a new challenge and try new things.
