MY MISSION:  To help photographers develop a solid understanding of the “Hows and Whys” behind making consistently great photographs. – – Joe Edelman

 

Joe Edelman

I am an award-winning advertising and editorial photographer, author, educator and YES – that crazy PHOTO Joe Edelman on YouTube!

I take great pride in sharing my experience via my popular YouTube Channel: Photo Joe Edelman – recognized by YouTube as one of the fastest rising channels of 2016.

My work is featured frequently on well-known photography blogs including Fstoppers, DIYPhotography, PetaPixel, Lifehacker, ISO1200, Shutterbug and LensVid, among others.

I have earned a reputation as a lively and popular instructor and lecturer at camera clubs, photography conferences and photography workshops across the United States. I have also served as an adjunct professor teaching Creativity and Photography at Muhlenberg College in Allentown, PA and Northampton County Community College in Monroe, PA.

My work has been published internationally in magazines like Maxim, Cosmopolitan, Get Fit, Shape and Good Light Magazine to name but a few. I have been called upon to complete assignments for both the New York Times and The Los Angeles Times and I have serviced commercial advertising clients from all over the United States.

My career has spanned four decades, from my start as a newspaper photojournalist to my work today photographing all types of people and serving as a photo educator who motivates and educates new and experienced photographers all over the world.

I have received both state and national awards for fashion photography as well as photojournalism in the categories of News, Feature and Sports photography.

My primary target – people!  I am best known for my photographs of beautiful women. Check out my portfolio here.
