Welcome to my corner of visual storytelling. I'm Joshua Jennings, a photographer whose journey through life has been shaped by the rugged landscapes of North Central Idaho, the serene beauty of Northern California, and the captivating shores of the Oregon coast.

 

Growing up in a small logging town, I deeply revered the natural world surrounding me. From the towering pines to the rushing waters of the Clearwater River, nature was not just a backdrop but an essential part of my existence. It's from these early experiences that my passion for photography first took root.

​

I remember clutching my parents' Olympus film camera on the banks of the Clearwater, eagerly awaiting the next passing jet boat. Photography wasn't just about capturing moments; it was a way to connect with the world around me and preserve the memories that shaped my life.

​

In 2016, after a traumatic brain injury, I found myself drawn to the Oregon coast. During this period of introspection and healing, I acquired my first fully manual camera. With each click of the shutter, I began to transition from capturing mere memories to expressing my emotions and experiences through imagery.

​

Photography became more than just a hobby; it became a personal journey of self-expression and discovery. While I had no initial intention of sharing my work beyond my inner circle, the encouragement and feedback from friends and family propelled me to embrace a wider audience.

​

Through my lens, I strive to convey the raw beauty and emotional depth of the world around us. Each photograph is a reflection of the moments, feelings, and stories that have shaped my journey. I invite you to explore my portfolio and hope that my images resonate with you on a deeper level.

​

Thank you for taking the time to connect with my work. In a world that can often be harsh and unforgiving, I believe that art serves as a reminder of the resilience of the human spirit.
