Josh Blackman finds beauty in the natural world and shares his unique perspective through photographic works. His photography includes landscapes and nature, including large and small animals or anything that happens to catch his eye, while getting off the beaten path. A lifelong Kansas Citian, Josh finds inspiration while hiking, boating, and traveling the world with his wife and two sons. He was introduced to the art of photography while in high school at Blue Valley North in Overland Park, KS and immediately took joy in it. He continued to work in this field off and on as budget allowed. Most people forget how expensive of an art form this was in the early to mid 90’s. There was the cost of film, chemicals and processing just to see what images you were able to capture. Life happened and he set down his camera in the early 2000’s as he married and had his two sons. While he still did what he could when time permitted, it wasn’t until a family vacation to Colorado in 2021 that he realized he how much he enjoyed practicing the art he loved. Ever since that point, he makes time to get out weekly looking for that perfect shot in nature or landscapes.
