Who is the Photographer?
My name is Nathan; though I am better known for my photography as Joseph C Shade and I am a photographer based in Central New Jersey.
I am from New Jersey, yet I will travel to cities my clients would like to work in (for example: New York City, Miami, Fl, Los Angeles, CA and Detroit, MI)
I am primarily a lingerie | swimsuit | art – nude | erotic photographer. These are my photographic passions.
I am a fan of poetry, art, fantasy lit, anime, cosplay, and museums. I am drawn to the strange, the mystical and the magical. Having these passions outside of photography, affords me a personalized perspective that I use in my creative sessions that aid in bringing your vision to life. Creating the images you will love, with you, is like starting an exciting new adventure.
So, let us do just that!
