I am Josh Hofer
I am twenty-three years old.
I am currently living in Raleigh, NC.
I have been doing band photography for about three years now. My passion for photography started after I left the
band I used to drum for (After Letting Go). Once I left, I started stealing my fathers Kodak EasyShare digital
camera for their shows. The more I took pictures, the more I loved it. Soon I actually became pretty good at what I
was doing. With me working full-time in a retail store and not going to school, I was able to save my money to buy
my own good digital camera.
After spending a lot of time doing research .., talking to my crazy-smart-camera-friend Kerry, and spending a
lot of time in camera stores... I was able to pick out the perfect one for me. Once I had saved lots of money,
pooled some Wolf Camera gift cards together, and got Mom and Dad to throw in some money, I made my first digital
camera purchase; FujiFilm FinePix S7000.
I started to take my camera to every show I could. Just learning how to use it the right way as time went by.
Shortly after, I met Mikey Lythcott ; who at the time was running bandphotography.com . He took me under his "photography wing" and started
to teach me more about my camera. It was really awesome, he helped me out a lot not only with the photography aspect
but also helped me establish contacts with-in the music industry. He has been a great friend and a huge influence.
As time went on and my photography skills improved, I bought extra accessories for the camera (fish eye lens and an
external flash to name two things). Before I knew it, I had made tons of contacts with-in the local North Carolina
scene. Everyone started to know me as the guy who always took those "awesome" pictures at shows. I couldn't be
anymore flattered, it's marvelous.
Now-a-day's things are pretty gosh darn incredible. I now work with AP Magazine, AMP Magazine, and a few other
publications as well as just about every record label you can think of! Photo passes are not as hard of a thing for
me to come by anymore; most people say my photography speaks for itself. I shoot pretty much only in NC but I have
shot a few shows in VA and DC and I am definitely willing to travel to other states to shoot shows (or anything for
that matter). That doesn't bother me at all, I love it!
If there is one thing I am very grateful for, it's the amount of amazing people I have met during this ongoing
photography journey. I have made some really really remarkable friends all because of this photography gig. And now
that I think about it; I really set out to take band photos to meet people, have a fun hobby, and to enjoy music. It
has really become that and so much more.
Oh, and now I shoot Nikon!
