About Me
You have a dream, a vision, imagining a moment you want to capture and remember forever. Whether it’s a personal milestone, a performance, or a profound expression of your journey, you deserve photography that doesn’t just look beautiful but feels deeply authentic.
That’s where I come in.
I’m Joy Xu, a photographer dedicated to helping you bring your imagination to life. With years of experience and a background in both fine art and spiritual practice, I specialize in capturing moments that are raw, real, and deeply human. My approach isn’t just about taking pictures—it’s about understanding your story and translating it into imagery that reflects who you truly are.
My work has been featured on prestigious magazine covers in France and the U.S., and I’ve had the honor of serving as UCLA’s official performance photographer for three years. I’ve also documented events for respected buddhist organizations, including Upaya Zen Center and Drala Mountain Center.
But this isn’t about me—it’s about you.
Your story matters. Your emotions, your dreams, and your unique vision deserve to be captured in a way that feels both meaningful and timeless. Whether you need a striking portrait, a documentary-style event shoot, or an artistic collaboration, I’m here to guide you through the process with understanding, care, and expertise.
Let’s create something unforgettable together!
