Hello! From Joanna,
I am a professional photographer based in Mariposa California. If you have visited my website you will have noticed the many different facets of my photography. I am continually trying to step out of my comfort zone and try something new while improving my technique and personal style. Joanna Ransom Photography
I grew up in Mariposa Ca. and have strong family and community ties in Mariposa and the surrounding communities. I grew up exploring Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Every photographer’s perspective of the world is influenced by their experiences, hence my environment, family and friends played a part in shaping my unique view and what I see through my lens. My family consists of very creative and talented people that influenced me and added to my vision of the world.
As a photographer, my preference for Event photography is a documentary style. For Portraits, I like to incorporate the person being photographed, interests and hobbies if possible. For Scenic and Nature photos, I like to go on adventures, down roads to off the beaten path locations. Automotive photography holds a special place in my heart, I love photographing cars out on the road driving or with a fun backdrop. Wedding Photography is a combination of many things but my main goal is to document the special day in the most creative way as it presents itself. I’m willing to travel in and around California to capture that special moment in time.
I am constantly reading and studying to keep my mind alert and ready for the next photo shoot. I have also learned to look and listen to the surrounding environment and most importantly my instincts and heart, I have found them to be excellent guides.
This is my business and my income I have worked hard to get to this level of photography. I attended college and have an AA Degree in photography. In the future, I plan to add to my degree and include a BA in Photography and Media. They say you have to take at least 10,000 photos to even get your foothold in photography, I have lost count of the photos I have taken, I’m currently standing somewhere around 80,000 photos taken and I’m still learning new things every time I pick up my camera or sit down to start editing. You never stop learning.
My website has thousands of photos, feel free to wander and roam through the Galleries, most photos are for sale and available with many printing options. Send me an Email if you would like to book a photo shoot or an event. purespeedphoto@gmail.com
I am more than happy to work with my photography customers to get the best photos. However, please do not waste my time. I’m a small business person, my time is money and now more than ever, I need to make the most of it. Serious photography clients please contact me. Time wasters please enjoy the photos on my website. Joanna Ransom Photography.
Thank You, Joanna Ransom
