/about the artist…
I am a San Francisco based artist, photographer and educator. I live in the Castro district with my wife, my son, my mother-in-law and my dog.
I make pictures for the most part, and refuse to explain away the work with grandiose artist statements (though I have attempted to do so in the past).
I enjoy Jack Daniel’s, longs walks on the beach and poking dead things with sticks.
For more insight into my person, you might peruse the “Self Esteem” gallery.
/services, etc…
Portraiture, fine art, head-shots, maternity, boudoir, candid work of all sorts. Editorial, fashion, commercial photography, in studio or on location.
I am available for and interested in all manner of photographic endeavors and opportunities, especially those of an analog nature.
Additionally, I offer custom darkroom services, delivering silver gelatin prints, hand made to exacting archival standards.
For rates, quotes on specific projects, availability and the like, please contact me directly here / or via email - email [at] josephszymanski [dot] com
My availability for un-budgeted collaboration is unfortunately very limited. That said, please don’t hesitate to reach out, regardless of what you’re working on.
