About the Photographer

Joshua Lucero


Artist/Photographer


My name is Josh. I was born in 1984 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I went to school in the Inland Empire of Southern California. I graduated from Elsinore High School in 2002.


I began to pursue photography seriously in 2019 when I bought SeeJoshsPhotos.com and my Nikon D7500. I've explored various web hosts and social media platforms and settled on Pixieset in 2024.

currently: Menifee, California


As I build out this space, you may see photos from Las Cruces, Seattle, San Diego, Portland, Montana, Chicago, Miami, and more. I love to travel and am looking for work outside of SoCal.


My favorite subjects include flowers, wildlife, pets, architecture, landscape, and abstract. I am studying fashion, portrait and sport photography.


I am not available for hire but, I am looking for models to trade content with in an educational, barter, portfolio building scenario.

Keratoconus


I was born with a degenerative eye condition that causes a deformation of the cornea, from a perfect round shape to a pointed one. For decades it has been treated with hard contact lenses and corneal transplants but, is currently without a cure.

Challenge Accepted


My condition progressed slowly throughout my youth. I was fitted for glasses in 4th grade when I appeared to have trouble reading the chalkboard. I still did well in school and played competitive sports.


In an attempt to contain the abnormal growth, I was fitted with hard contact lenses in High School and was able to live a somewhat normal life until they began to do more damage than good.

Artistic Qualities

Rebellious

It almost came out of defiance. I was an amateur photographer off and on throughout my life but, I began to see my condition as a unique perspective.

Most photographers might have normal vision and the "standard" of good photography tends to revolve around having a "good eye."

I choose to consider my lack of vision an asset.
