We had the good fortune of connecting with Joshua Kane and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Joshua, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
Wedding photography is the only business that allows you to get paid to shoot every other genre of photography all at once. For example… You shoot fashion when you pose the bride and bridesmaids… You shoot landscapes and travel when you’re setting the scene for a destination wedding… you shoot products when you style the details and design elements… photojournalism when you document the candid moments… and obviously there’s portraiture and lifestyle photography elements to a wedding too. Add the raw emotion and the fact that it’s just one big party every weekend and there’s simply nothing I’d rather point my camera at. To be honest, I can’t believe how lucky I am that this opportunity exists as a career.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
For me, the craft and business of wedding photography is all about storytelling. There’s a story to be told for each one of our clients, yes… but we also get to tell our own story with what pours out of us creatively during a shoot or wedding. And with how we communicate our vision, ideas and ethos. Story also provides the basis for connection with our clients and emotional attachment to the work… which is key to this career path feeling more like a fulfilling creative passion rather than a tedious business operation.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Vizcaya is a dream shoot location. I’m also partial to the art deco areas of South Beach. And for engagement shoots and client meetings, it has to be Wynwood!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Dedicated to the entire South Florida wedding photography community. Our industry is unique in that our competitors are actually more help than competition… and the rising tide lifts all boats. I can’t thank my local friends in the field enough.
