From the series "what i saw".

Photo's never meant to be published

Some of my personal favorite photographs are the ones I've taken before the subject of the assignment has arrived, or ones I've taken while scouting the location. They are the photographs of clients and assistants that I've politely asked, told or tricked into standing in for a "TEST SHOT". I cherish the best of these photographs as mementos of collaborations, colleagues and friends.

Ben's one of my favorite subjects. While on assignment for BC Business, he and I met at the location early to scout and he willingly stood in for the test shots. Ben's a great sport and these are two of my favorites.

A behind-the-scenes look at the Little T photoshoot

The Little T Photoshoot with photographer Paul Joseph from Doris Cheung-Joseph on Vimeo.

Travis, a young hip hop artist and friend of ours, asked us to shoot some stills of him for a cd he was releasing. My wife decided it would be a good idea to film the day. This is result.

A shout out to the crew for an amazing job. No egos and everyone pitched in wherever needed.

HAPPY HOUR!

HAPPY HOUR!, originally uploaded by Paul Joseph Photographs.

This is an out take from an editorial assignment.
While setting up a shot for the client my eye kept wandering in toward the center of the frame, so I zoomed in and shot a few frames.
It is one of those images that are snapped off in a moment of opportunity. Only to roll around in the back of my mind until I finally get around to letting it out.
The shot for the magazine was considerably more wide-angle.

Shooting on the street between meetings i kept running into this fellow. I think we were both walking in circles.
