About Joe Franklin

I'm Joe Franklin I shoot places.

I’m Joe Franklin. I’ve lived in the Kenosha area almost my whole life except for a 6.5 years in the Army and a few young years in Illinois that we won’t talk about. I’ve alway been fascinated by buildings and homes with character, and taking pictures of them just naturally followed.

My style is a combination between photojournalism and fine-art photography with a touch of fashion and creative lighting. My photos are inspired by light, color, techniques from Dutch Masters like Vermeer, vintage photos, creative perspective, and of course, most importantly, the individual aesthetics of the homes and buildings I make photos and videos of.
