Hello! I’m Josh Braswell. The focus of my photography is on the wonderful people, places, and things in my home state of North Carolina. I love capturing life as it unfolds in front of me. I’ve had the opportunity to photograph many wonderful folks through my recent Makers of North Carolina project, and I’m looking forward to the official opening of that exhibit in January of 2026.
