Hey there! I'm Joshua, the face behind That Emerald Photographer, and I'm thrilled to share a bit about myself and my passion.

Based right here in Emerald, the heart of Queensland's incredible Central Highlands and Coalfields region, I'm a married father of three amazing kids. We absolutely love living here and raising our family in this vibrant community.

My journey with photography started early—my very first camera was a disposable Kodak when I was just ten! I took it everywhere! My first adventure with it was on a school trip to Mount Coolum in 1999. I photographed anything and everything - including my breakfast! That initial spark ignited a lifelong fascination, evolving into a deep commitment to continual personal development within my craft. I'm always learning, growing, and investing in new ways to bring your stories and visions to life through my lens.

Today, 26 years later, I'm incredibly privileged to channel years of developed skills into a diverse range of photographic expressions. My complete portfolio showcases everything from breathtaking aerial photography and bespoke custom landscape commissions to compelling documentary storytelling and my award-winning conceptual portraiture. I also specialise in high-end property imaging for many valued and long-term real estate clients, a service that has proudly made That Emerald Photographer the most sought-after property imaging specialist in this region!

More than just creating images, I truly enjoy connecting with people. I love the casual, friendly interactions and often find myself immersed in the deep, meaningful conversations that unfold along the way. I have met so many amazing people with incredibly moving stories!

Thanks for stopping by!
