Joey / Professional Photographer in Annapolis, Maryland

Trans4mation Photography is your premier professional provider for all your photography needs. Hi, my name is Joey, and I have loved photography since I was a teenager. I have traveled the United States and the world many times over and have had the privilege to see and photograph amazing sights. I’ve always held a camera in my hand, whether it was to contribute to my high school yearbook album, or take stunning photographs of people or nature, I’ve always found photography to capture the “moment” or the“subject” not so much in two dimensions, but rather in multiple dimensions – the subject, shapes, textures, shadows and lighting, lines and patterns, tones, color, space and symmetry, etc. – they all render a greater definition to every experience in a way that draws the viewer into that “moment”. When you and I look at a quality photograph, we should be able to see creativity that vividly amplifies depth and substance. The picture should be visually pleasing and exude energy making it come alive with words, and emanate feelings that tell a story and evoke the viewer’s raw emotions. Professional photographs should never be Facebook “Like” or “Dislike” quality material; rather, a professional photograph should simulate the original experience to the viewer and be regarded reverently as though it was DiVinci’s own Mona Lisa – a stunning and priceless work of art.

WARNING! Do NOT use Uncle Bob to do your wedding photos or family portraits! Without a doubt, in photography, you get what you pay for. Uncle Bob will take a few good pictures, but will likely also miss some critical shots, get some important ones either too dark (usually the case for indoor photography), or too light, or worse yet, out of focus! With Uncle Bob, you can forget about creative shots, photo-editing to enhance/fix pictures, or give you a “photojournalistic feel” for your wedding. Uncle Bob means well, but your once-in-a-lifetime wedding and all that investment to pay for it is only remembered by the photographs that reside in the albums on your coffee table and in your parents’ sunroom.

If you employ my services, you will find that I am easy going, respectful, enjoy creativity, enjoy people, enjoy a technical challenge, and most importantly, I enjoy serving others and meeting their needs – usually, my clients become my friends and some make me their family photographer. While adaptive, my style of photography is primarily photojournalistic; that is, I record the events (say, wedding) as it is naturally taking place, with as few “pose” shots as possible. Your photos and albums should tell a story in a modern, yet enduring way. This is why my shop is called Trans4mation – taking something that would otherwise be “average”, and “transforming” it by making it different and exciting! Or in the epicurean vernacular, this is known as “kicking it up a notch!”
