Hey, I'm Joeb!
Photographer based at IU. I shoot graduation portraits, live events, and professional work. By the end of every session I've actually gotten to know the person in front of my camera.
How it started
Junior year of high school I joined the wrestling team and started bringing my camera to matches. By the end of that season my teammates were posting my photos during one of the best runs the program had seen. Watching the team share pictures of their matches, proud of what they'd put in, that's when I got it. Photos don't just document things. They mean something to people. We won the NJSIAA North 1, Group 3 sectional title that year.
First day of class at IU, I spotted a professional taking pictures and just started talking to them. That conversation got me into the IU Office of Student Life, where I had a mentor who showed me what it actually means to work as a professional photographer. Not just take good shots, but show up, deliver, and keep growing.
Since then I've kept this lesson in mind where I have shot graduation portaits, weddings, dance teams/competitions, Kelley Student Organizations, Professional Fratenrity Council, The Bluebird, and more. Back in NJ I shoot for my Bengali community, weddings and bridal showers mostly. Growing up Bangladeshi American, that community always felt like family to me. Getting to be there for their biggest moments is different for me than any other work I do.
Working with me
Your vision first
Every shoot starts with a conversation. I want to hear your ideas and what you're going for before I touch the camera. We build the shoot around you, not the other way around.
We plan it together
After we've talked through the vision, we sort the logistics. Location, timing, what to wear, poses to try. You show up to the shoot with clarity, not questions.
Calm, lively, with no pressure
On shoot day I keep things moving but relaxed. I'm getting to know you while we work. By the end it doesn't feel like a photoshoot. It just feels like a good time.
