“From Lens to Life”
Behind the Lens- Josiah Hardman
Photography, to me, is about capturing people in their most confident and authentic moments.
Hi, I’m Josiah Hardman, the photographer behind King Jo Photography, based in Houston, Texas. What started as a hobby after moving from Florida to Texas quickly turned into a real passion. Over the past eight years, I’ve developed a cinematic style that still feels natural and authentic, focusing on creating images that feel timeless and real.
I specialize in lifestyle, portrait, graduation, and fashion photography, and I love helping people feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera while creating photos they’ll be proud to share.
Outside of photography, I’m a former college football athlete at Texas Southern University. I hold an Associate of Arts and a Bachelor’s degree in Aviation Management, and I’m currently working toward my Master of Business Administration. At 24, I’m continuing to grow creatively while building a brand centered around passion, discipline, and storytelling.
If you're looking to capture a moment, celebrate an achievement, or create something meaningful, I’d love to work with you.
