Behind the Lens

More from behind the lens and about me. I’m Josh.

I spent my childhood in Chesterfield - Derbyshire (UK), so the outdoors and especially the Peak District has always been a source of inspiration to get out and explore. It's only when you move away or return from your travels that you really appreciate what you have.

I now live in Darmstadt (DE) where I work as a Spacecraft Operations Engineer.

Photography remains a hobby, but having taken photos of places I’ve been fortunate enough to visit, it would be a shame to keep them hidden sitting metaphorically gathering dust on my hard drive.

But more than that, sometimes there’s more to say than the 1000 words a single image is said to portray. Having greater control over how a single image, a sequence of images or a timelapse can be viewed enables me to take ownership of how I see them, to make an end result. Which in turn makes the click of a button the start of the story rather than the end.
