JOSHUA STEADMAN / PHOTOGRAPHER

Joshua Steadman is an editorial and commercial director and photographer based in Raleigh. He comes from a long line of storytellers. “I grew up listening to them all: tales told by my aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins and my own parents. My father’s Nikkormat and a 28mm lens captured my childhood with love and attention. I think listening and being a photographer go hand in hand, and that’s what I try to do.” This month he photographed Adam D. Cohen. “I brought my son Vaughn along to help me set up the lighting, and we both enjoyed watching Adam work. He was incredibly focused.”
