JOE CALIVA • PHOTOGRAPHER
Thank you for checking out my online portfolio. I have been a photography enthusiast for about 25 years, and over the past 5 years, I've decided to turn this passion into a profession.
I graduated from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, PA with a Master's Degree in Music and I've worked in the music industry as a performer, composer and producer for most of my life. It was through working with many different musical artists that I was introduced to the exciting world of Commercial and Artistic Portrait photography. I got my education by assisting and watching the many talented and skilled photographers during shoots of artists with whom I was working at the time. Eventually, I started doing shoots myself of artists and bands and eventually moved into actor headshots and Glamour/Fashion Photography as well.
I still work as a musician as well as a photographer - ultimately, I love working in a creative environment... telling stories and expressing myself artistically, and both music and photography afford me the opportunity to do just that.
Please contact me if you'd like to discuss a job or project you have in mind. I love shooting and am always excited to try new ideas and concepts.
