About Me

I’m just an average Joe who is passionate about photography and like to share what I’ve learned over the years with others. Over the past 20 years or so I’ve published 34 books and more than 2000 magazine stories. Along the way, I become a Contributing Photographer and Writer for Shutterbug and an Editor Emeritus of eDigitalPhotomagazine.

My latest books include "Joe Farace's Glamour Photography" and "Studio Lighting Anywhere"  from Amherst Media. Along with  Barry Staver I  published an update to "Better Available Light Digital Photography" and Lark Books published my book "Creative Digital Monochrome Effects."
