A little bit about us
Josh
The first camera I ever owned was a Sony Handycam CCD 2005 edition. Back then, my days were spent reenacting scenes from Jackass, climbing trees, jumping off bridges into rivers, and capturing every wild adventure—just the way teenagers do.
If you told that kid what he’d be doing in 2025, he wouldn’t believe you.
Many of you already know how this journey began, but for those who don’t—it all started with a single shoot for a friend in June 2024. That moment changed everything.
I never imagined I’d have the opportunity to turn my passion into a business—let alone alongside my best friend, who has truly become part of my family. In 2024, we took a leap of faith. I left the stability of my job as a General Manager at a fitness facility to chase a dream that had been with me since childhood.
And that leap? It was the best decision I ever made.
Every person we’ve had the privilege to work with has taught me something invaluable. This journey isn’t just about creating something great—it’s about the people, the connections, and the stories we get to tell together.
If you’re looking for a team that pours everything into their craft, who sees the story beyond the camera, and who genuinely values the people they work with—welcome to Team JL.

If you had told me a few years ago I would have left my job in 2024 to start a media business with one of my best friends, I would have told you that you're mad!
However, taking that risk was one of the best decisions I made and the last few months have been some of the most challenging & equally rewarding of my life.
Over the past few years, I had a Sony camera that I would take "silly" videos & photos on to edit, but purely as a hidden hobby with no intent to post online; ironically, I was always very camera shy and didn't think anyone would like what I did! Little did I know that this insecurity would actually lead to something bigger in the future.
I've always had a passion for people and story telling, so when we started this venture, I'd naturally jump at helping people be confident in themselves in front of camera to share their stories; ultimately, seeing people's reaction to themselves through our work is priceless!
Working with the amazing people I have over the past few months has really built my confidence in my work and helped me define what my own purpose is in life, and for that I will always be very grateful.
