Photography has been a source of joy and creativity in my life since I was about seven years old, when I used a Kodak Instamatic camera. In Junior High School I built and experimented with a pinhole camera. By High School, I converted a storage closet in my parents’ basement into a darkroom to develop photos. For the next 25 years, I shot with series of traditional film SLR cameras. I approached the digital age of photography with some initial skepticism, but now I love the many opportunities for creativity which it presents.

In my photography, I focus primarily on landscapes, nature, historical architecture and travel. My "home turf" of Bucks County, Pennsylvania is rich in natural beauty as well as history, and this is reflected in many of my images. My diverse interests are easy to see in my artwork, including nature, rustic scenery, history, sports, wildlife, architecture, and urban landscapes.

I graduated from Franklin and Marshall College, where I was the president of the Student Arts Council. I went on to earn my Ph.D. in clinical psychology at Fairleigh Dickinson University, and I have had a psychology practice in Lawrenceville, NJ for about 30 years. I am lucky to have a wonderful wife and two adult sons who make me proud every day.

Over the past 14 years, I have exhibited my photographs in many juried fine art shows, but I primarily sell my photographs through my online ETSY shop, “JoshFriedmanPhoto.” My photographs are now in hundreds of homes and offices in addition to being used for commercial use. Now my shop is almost 14 years old, and I have shipped my prints all over the world. Additionally, I have led photography tours in Bucks County, and I have given photography presentations on topics including composition, HDR (high dynamic range) photography, Bucks County’s Beauty and History, and how to creatively use different lenses.
