Joe Lopez, I'm a native Idahoan,  and an outsider artist in the photographic world. Born in Boise, I began moving to various states with my parents at an early age, and went on to serve three years in the United States Army Infantry at Ft. Benning, GA. I returned to Boise with my wife to raise our five children. Photography came to me quite unexpectedly in January of 2007. Equipped with a little Sony Cybershot, I quickly grew weary of not knowing how to fully take advantage of what it could do. Experimentations followed that included shooting images of the moon using a tripod and auto settings. The result was extreme overexposed photos that led to research where I began discovering basic photo techniques. This work inspired personal creative explorations of processes that finally produced crisp, clear images. From that day on I awakened to an intrinsic love of the photographic medium that provided a vehicle for a passionate translation of a unique vision of the world through a camera lens.  I now am striving to be, and am nearly there, a full time professional photographer.  I love shooting weddings the most of all portraiture.
