More about Joel D....
What do you love about your job?
Every project is different. I get to use my brains, my creativity and skills I spent years improving. It feels like this job is the sum of everything I learned before. There is no limit I can reach, I can always get better. One of the most important assets as a photographer is the ability to overcome obstacles and those challenges are the fuel that drives me though my career. This is so much more than just a job, it's an opportunity to live from my passion.
What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?
I started shooting motorsports. I was shooting cars and motorcycles at race tracks and then would shoot for collectors or people wanting artistic images of their rides. I would find a location that fits the style and sometimes people would request a specific theme. I was hired for few portrait sessions and then for weddings. I started in commercial photography working for a jewelry retailer creating visual content for social media and printed ads. I've shot food plates, cosmetics, beverages, fashion accessories and shoes. Commercial work is based on strategies but I mainly aim at making my pictures stand out and convey a message that supports my clients branding and marketing objectives.

A fun fact about this photographer
Photography isn't just a job, it's my life. If I'm not taking pictures for a brand I'm probably working on a photography project in my home studio or taking pictures of a rare species in the wild.
