About Josh

I’m based in Auckland and for the last 10 years I’ve worked professionally as a commercial cinematographer and photographer all over New Zealand.

I’m 33 years old and have been working with models and escorts for the last 7 years. My work slowly started to move towards more intimate, sensual portraiture and with this progression, DVSN was born.

I started out as a landscape, travel and adventure photographer which later evolved into portrait photography. From there I gained a reputation as a glamour and boudior photographer and shortly after I found my way into intimate portraiture.

Working with me

If you’re interested in working together or have any questions, get in touch via email at stateofdivision@protonmail.com

When you contact me, make sure you give a short description of what you’re looking for and include dates, shoot style & location. If you have any inspiration photos to share please send them through too.

What to expect

I’m known for having a relaxed presence and making people feel comfortable in front of the camera. I tailor my directing style to each person and can provide as much or as little direction as you need.

You don’t need to know how to pose to make great photos. Many of the people I work with have never had a professional photoshoot before and I’ll guide you through the process every step of the way.

Location

I shoot across a variety of locations which are typically one of these 4 options:

  1. Hotel rooms or AirBnBs. Clean, bright shoot locations like this are best for a natural look and my style of photography.

  2. A house or apartment where you feel comfortable - yours or someone you know.

  3. Studio. I have a dedicated home studio best suited for fine art, concept or portfolio shoots. I would not recommend this for escort profiles unless I have the space furnished & decorated.

  4. Outdoors - typically suited for bikini or beach photos. I wouldn’t recommend this option as a replacement for the others.

Booking a location will be your responsibility. I’m happy to shoot in most places, and I’m happy to share my opinion if you’re unsure what might work best.
