Welcome, all!

My name is Joseph Conway and I welcome you to my online persona.

Photography Work

Photography work is how I initially began my pursuit of art as more than a hobby. I recall one Christmas, with words of encouragement, my brother purchased for me a GoPro (first edition) to document all that my eyes could see. Soon enough that led to editing photos, delving in classes, and finally (and still) capturing all sorts of subjects.

What I love most about photography is the ability to note particular moments. A string of moments passes us daily and hardly ever do we note each thread and hair in that string. So I am fortunate enough to visually capture each detail of that string we deem “time.” As much as I adore writing, only some things can be said with a photo. For it has been said, “A picture is worth a thousand words.”

Nature is my preferred subject; it remains glorious whether someone is looking at it or not.

Digital Work

My digital art is merely a transfer (and consequently sophistication) of what I would otherwise do on paper. Drawing has been a hobby of mine for as long as I can remember. It was my pride in elementary and middle school, gaining the adoration of peers and teachers. Now, with technology, I can create more accurately what I see in my mind, produce more copies, and share it to more lovely people.

The thing I love most about my digital work is how much it captures me as an individual. It pushes me to be more balanced in who I am, so when clients request pieces, I can fully deliver with ease. Even my creative process is most peaceful. This art gives me time to be present, to focus exactly on each detail I input with the hopes of bringing that peace to you.

Cinematographic Work

This began right out of the jump when my brother asked me to film his first music video (see “Before We Say Goodbye” in Cinema). I previously had little to no experience in this area, other than measly GoPro videos I threw together. Still I was confident and in for the adventure. Surely enough, I loved every bit of it and constantly found new film ideas popping in my head. Things that I could improve on.

Film is exciting, particularly because they capture personalities more thoroughly. It one thing to try and read a photo of a person, but another to have that person essentially teleported into your life via some black box. Like the old saying, “a picture is worth a thousand words.” Yet, I can only help but imagine how many words a three minute video in 24fps is worth…

Cheers!
