My name is Joseph and I am a Photographer and Laser Engineer from Astoria, Queens. Photography has become a renewed passion for me after completing school and developing a career as a Laser Engineer. I currently manufacture and service medical laser equipment. I have a BS in Physics from Fordham University and an MS in Photonics from Queens College. I love documenting shows, events and the streets of NYC and anywhere I travel to. Photography has taught me to pay more attention to my surroundings and look for perspectives I have not seen before.
