Photography: Joseph Cartright
JOSEPH CARTRIGHT
Growing up on the streets of New York provided Joseph Cartright a cultural and artistic influence that only a city like New York City can offer. Bored with his Avionics background, Joseph fell for the dark and fun world of the DJ scene. As a DJ he spun in the uninhibited days and playgrounds of such clubs as Xenon, Funhouse, and Copacabana… it was a vibe.
Capitalizing on his music interest, he co-produced, produced and engineered many dance classics. Pushing further into the music world, Joseph owned several production/recording studios, including John Lennon’s, Record Plant Studio D.
Boredom setting in, he embarked on a parallel career in the technology business. After boredom was overtaken by reality, he decided meld his art, engineering and technology background into photography and Visual Arts. Grinding together these once fundamentally separate disciplines is Joseph’s amazing talent. His ability to conceptualize and bring to bear ideas, his knack for building technically precise lighting and his polished production skills are the result of his breadth of life and knowledge. He has garnered the respect and command of many top tier clients including Victoria’s Secret, Halston, Ralph Lauren, L’Oréal, Wella, Aveda, Escada and…
As a human, Joseph shares his time with organizations that help those that just need a hand up, like HairAid.au, an international organization, which teaches rescued girls & boys how to perform 5 basic haircuts in a week, which greatly improves their odds of living a happier life.
As an Adjunct Professor at Parson’s and lecturer/influencer for Apple, Microsoft, Xrite, and many others, Joseph connects with and inspires the next brew of artists.
Joseph is as driven, talented and diverse as the city he lives in.
