Joe has worked as a professional photographer for well over a decade.

His formal study of photography started at high school in California. Shortly afterwards back in the UK,

he excelled at Photography A-level, leading to an honours degree in Photographic & Digital Media at the Cambridge School of Art (2006). He started his career working freelance for event photographers, covering motorcycle track days, horse trials and dog agility, before landing a job as a staff photographer with the North West Evening Mail, a regional daily paper based in the Lake District.

In the five years there he gained both the industry's NCTJ and NCE qualifications, enabling him to quickly rise to the level of senior photographer. This journalistic experience has produced a fully rounded photographer and videographer, who has continually taught himself many methods, specialising in

on-location flash and studio techniques.

Before starting Bounders Dog Photography, his work had already been published in multiple regional and national media publications including The Guardian, The Telegraph, Performance Bikes, and the BBC, and his commercial images have traveled the globe with brands such as Hawkshead Relish.
