Josh became motivated to learn from the outdoor world and cultivated a mastery of harsh climates and diverse terrain. Simultaneously as he experienced nature in its most raw form, his unique artistic perspective emerged. At the age of 15 he began capturing the world around him with his 35mm film camera. 

 

Josh continued his passion for photography by pursuing his education on both the east and west coast. He graduated with high honors earning a degree in photography. His main focus was photojournalism and was committed to shooting film and pre-digital techniques exclusively used in the darkroom. The majority of his digital education was learned outside of the classroom.

 

After decades of devoting himself to his artistry and earning the highest level of standard from his art collectors, Josh opened his limited edition prints to the public and in 2015 established Ochner Photography, a fully licensed fine art photography business in Sacramento California
