ABOUT
:
Joe Wigdahl is an award-winning portrait and
landscape photographer who works in advertising,
editorial and design. He approaches what he shoots
with an eye that looks for beauty in realism-
whether the subjects and the settings are real
or part of a fully produced shoot he aims to
give the viewer a sense that what they’re looking
at is a genuine moment that was captured. His
cinematic, reportage style is used to convey
a sense of the dramatic and beautiful in everyday
details and moments.
He lives in Chicago and spends the better
part of his winters in Sydney, Australia. He takes and makes pictures and is an occaisional
glassblower.
Joe is not (but wishes he were) a seafarer,
a knife-fighter, an agricultural innovator,
a marsh-dwelling fisherman, a poet hobo, a
sponge diver, a swiss cowherd, a prison tattoo
artist or an old guy who sips muscatel and
plays bocci ball in the shade of trellised
vines.
