Hi, my name is
Josiah drakes
Welcome to my world of visual storytelling, where strategy, creativity, and human connection come together to bring ideas to life. As a creative producer, visual artist, and content strategist with a B.S. in Psychology from Xavier University of Louisiana, I approach every project with both artistic vision and a deep understanding of human behavior. By blending photography, videography, creative direction, social strategy, and content production, I create intentional visuals and campaigns that resonate, inspire, and leave a lasting impact. With 6+ years of professional experience—and a lifetime of capturing meaningful moments—I invite you to experience storytelling that transforms the ordinary into something unforgettable.

This can entail but is not limited to locations, outfits, Pinterest boards, editing styles, feelings you wish to express, etc. From there, I will follow up to your inquiry with a email.
FULL DEPOSIT IS REQUIRED AT LEAST 48 HOURS PRIOR TO DAY OF SHOOT. THIS IS REQUIRED FOR SHOOTS TO BE CONSIDERED OFFICIALLY BOOKED. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN CANCELLATION OF SERVICES.
WHAT DO YOU SHOOT?
I specialize in both photo & video for lifestyle, commercial, brand, editorial, sports, events, and social-first content. Whether it's a campaign, documentary-style storytelling, or behind-the-scenes moments, my focus is creating visuals that feel authentic, intentional, and impactful.
Where are you based and do you travel?
I am based in Atlanta, GA but I do travel for projects. While I primarily shoot in ATL, LA, & NY I am open to discussing travel for events outside of these areas. Travel requirements will be discussed and agreed upon on a case-by-case basis to ensure the best possible experience for both parties.
When will we get our photos?
You can typically expect to receive your edited photos within 2-3 weeks, depending on the scale of the project and current workload. I strive to deliver high-quality images promptly while ensuring attention to detail and creative refinement. If a faster turn around time is requested, there is an additional fee.
Do you photograph events?
Yes, I do photograph events. My pricing is based on scope and details.
How many pictures will we receive?
The number of photos you'll receive depends on several factors, including the duration and nature of the event or shoot, as well as the level of coverage requested. This number may vary based on specific circumstances and client preferences. You will receive at least 10+ photos. During the allotted time, I allow unlimited photos to be taken.
