    Joseph Cascetti
    Born with an innate passion for visual storytelling, Joseph's journey in the world of photography began with an insatiable curiosity and a keen eye for capturing the essence of life's moments. From the earliest stages of his life, he found himself drawn to the magic of imagery, constantly exploring the interplay of light, shadow, and composition to convey emotions and narratives through my lens. As he delved deeper into the art of photography, his dedication and unwavering commitment to the craft led him to pursue formal training and hands-on experience, honing his technical skills and nurturing a profound understanding of the intricacies of the medium.

    Through years of dedicated practice and an unrelenting pursuit of excellence, he has evolved into a seasoned photographer known for my ability to capture the essence of subjects, environments, and events in their purest form. His portfolio reflects a diverse array of projects spanning landscapes, portraits, events, and conceptual art, each imbued with a unique blend of creativity, authenticity, and a profound sense of storytelling. With a deep-rooted appreciation for the transformative power of imagery, his work embodies a fusion of artistic expression and technical finesse, continually striving to evoke emotions, provoke thought, and spark conversations through the visual medium.

    Every year, my family decorates our Christmas tree the weekend after Thanksgiving as we all love to admire it?s beautiful in the days to come. With the way the world has become, and the way so many souls are suffering, near and far, I snapped this photo as we finished decorating our tree. I think we all could use more peace, kindness and understanding-not just during the holidays, but always. Happy Holidays wishing everyone health, happiness and peace, of course.

    In my opinion there's nothing more beautiful than the city lights at night. I've always had a love for black and white photography and downtown Philadelphia is exceptional when it rains for black and white.

    I was sitting on the balcony of the condominium unit we were staying in on our vacation, photographing white ibises on the patio deck. One wandered over to the water's edge, followed by another, and so on, until a whole flock was there. For no apparent reason, they all decided to depart at the same instance, resulting in this photograph.

    I was testing out a new backdrop that I purchased for a family mini Christmas shoot that I have coming up. I used to make my children be my models but since they are grown Zeus, my boxer, was such a good boy and was my model. This was shot on a Canon EOS 6D with the EF 24-105mm f/4L at 24mm, ISO 320, 1/160. I used two Alien B800 strobes with white umbrellas.
