Things are changing quickly in the world of photography and I like it. Over the Past few years I have been incorporating more and more video into my work. I have always photographed people like a director would direct an actor in a film; it is a conversation between two people with a script. Being a photographer and a director has made it hard to answer the inevitable party question, “So what do you do?” then the other day I just blurted it out, “I am a portraitist, a visual handyman” and it sounded perfect. I still make portraits I just use different tools from time to time. This leads me to the launch of www.joshukessler.com V4 which makes it easier to see all sides of my visual handy work.
