I’m Joel Harris, a professional photographer based between Las Vegas and Chicago. Live music, DJ sets, and events are my wheelhouse, but honestly, I photograph whatever moves me. My mission is simple: To help people discover the spark in themselves and the world around them.

I’ve been doing this for almost ten years now, cutting my teeth across every genre you can think of—portraits, headshots, weddings, lifestyle, fashion, photojournalism, commercial gigs, you name it. I’ve worked markets from Seattle to Denver to Vegas and now Chi-town, and each city has left its mark on how I see and capture the world. Real, raw, energetic photographs are my trademark and I bring that approach to every one of my projects.

Here’s a small sampling of my work. Be sure to check out my PORTFOLIO page for more.
