    My name is Joss (P.J.) Ford I am a freelance photographer based in Columbus, Ohio. I have worked in bars and restaurants for the past decade and have been shooting photos for multiple restaurants, coffee shops, bars, and music venues throughout the city during this time. I have gathered plenty of experience in how to make a good photo, but since I have also been in management for so long I understand what bars and restaurants need from a photographer. My mission is to of course create beautiful content and imagery for my clients but also to portray the vibe, feel, and message that an establishment has worked so hard to create for the public to absorb. Being adjacent to so many avenues, the service industry has also let me develop my skills in concert, wedding, and event photography. In my spare time I have been quite dedicated to a street photography project in my hometown of Columbus, Ohio.

    I am a recent high school graduate looking to do some freelance work. I took 4 years of video production, as well as a TV broadcasting class and producing my schools morning news program. Even though I am young I have more experience then most colleges kids in video production. I also have my own youtube channel where you could see some of my work. I began taking pictures at a very young age and sold my first picture, unedited, at 11 years old. I believe I have only gotten better since and have taken classes in both photography and picture editing. I graduated with a 3.8 gpa, while taking 7 AP classes and being a two sport varsity athlete. I believe this shows I work well under time constraints and in teams. It also shows that I get the job done, I don't believe in doing anything less then 100%. Hope to work with you soon.
