BACKGROUND
My Photography Journey
Hey there! I’m Joseph Hawk, a Charlotte-based photographer and videographer with over 20 years of experience in capturing the world through my lens.
Since 2002, I’ve been immersed in the creative world, primarily focusing on photography and video. Fine art photography is my passion. There’s nothing like discovering the unique essence of a place, especially when it involves traveling off the beaten path and connecting with nature. I’m drawn to the challenge of capturing those rare, unspoiled moments that make you see the world differently.
Beyond fine art, I also love the contrast of glamour against unexpected backdrops. Whether it’s portraiture or fashion-style shoots, I enjoy experimenting with themes and styles that play with juxtaposition and narrative.
As the leader of the Ballantyne Photography Club here in Charlotte, I also dedicate my time to helping others develop their photography skills. Whether it’s Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop tutorials or group photography outings, I aim to inspire others to find joy and creativity behind the lens. If you’re in the area, come join us for a session! (Ballantyne Photography Club)
