Testimonials

Snelvis says:
"Had the pleasure of meeting Joel whilst shooting bands in Newcastle one night. His dedication to photography is very impressive and his band shots just get better and better. There are heaps of people shooting bands as of late but Joel is one of the rising stars of the art. Nice bloke too!"

The Honshu Underground says:
"Joel shows an empathy for his subject and a passion for vibrant colour in every frame. His dedication to his art makes his collection a chronicle of experiences as well as a visual triumph.

He's a good bloke too."

BeerLuver says:
"Joel definitely has an eye for photography. Especially enjoy his band shoots. Such clarity, vibrance, and precision in those shoots :). Would love to have even half the equipment he possesses.

Rock on buddy ;)"
