jo hendley photography

I am an Englishman, and I've been living in America since I was 20. I've had a camera of some sort in my hands since I was a boy. At 11 years old, seeing my interest, my brother gave me my first 'real' camera - a Ricoh KR-10 SE. Thirty years later, I still have it, and occasionally still put a roll of film through it. I received my education in England and moved to the US at 20. I enjoy many aspects of photography, from fine art to portraiture, and journalistic to weddings. I consider myself a fine art photojournalist, and bring this combination of genres to both my professional assignments and to my personal projects. I enjoy working with both natural light and off-camera flash, depending on the mood I wish to set for a final image.
